The Sounding Art Trail project is funded through a grant from the British Council’s Connections through Culture fund and is set to raise awareness of climate change, by sharing soundscape recordings along long distance trails. The project included site-specific productions, sound-focused research and participatory processes with local communities.
Described as a “collaborative, trans local journey” the Sounding Art Trail is a site-specific soundscape project rooted in the creative practice of walking. The project unfolds along two long-distance routes namely the North Downs Way in the UK and the Lycian Way in Türkiye, inviting walkers to listen, move, and create with the landscapes they pass through. By placing walking at the centre of artistic production, the project transforms the act of moving through land into a method of inquiry, collaboration, and shared reflection.
We are delighted to welcome Serra Öezhan of sound artists Dystopic Symptoms and Hu Eryurt of the Cultural Routes Society in Turkey to share their learning from the project.
Our guests receive a 70% share of new ticket revenue. If you are genuinely unable to afford to purchase a ticket, please contact us using the form below, and we will happily issue you with a complimentary ticket.
