Vienna Sonic Memories is an artist-led soundwalk taking place in the Republic of Kugelmugel within Vienna’s Prater park. Scheduled for the evening, the event invites participants to explore the intricate connections between urban space, sound, and memory through a guided experience of attentive listening and movement. Using the Prater’s distinctive environment as a sonic and spatial canvas, attendees engage with the ambient sounds of the cityscape, reflecting on how these auditory elements shape personal and collective recollections of place.

The event is organized by the mdw University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna in collaboration with artist Conny Zenk. It forms part of a broader engagement with urban studies and sound, highlighting how walking and listening practices can reveal hidden layers of urban experience. The format encourages participants to immerse themselves sensorially in the public space, fostering an awareness of how soundscapes influence perceptions of history, identity, and memory within Vienna’s culturally rich environment.
