A soundwalk at dusk led in collaboration with Good City Group, as part of the “Beyond Here, Beyond Now” artist walks series.
We traced a slow loop from fieldhouse to confluence point, tuning into layered soundscapes shaped by history, infrastructure, and ecology. At the meeting of the North Branch of the Chicago River and the manmade North Shore Channel, we reflected on the park’s position, a story shaped through colonization, industrial engineering, and environmental restoration.
Participants moved between natural and built environments, listening to cottonwoods, cicadas, river flow, and overhead airplane drones. At the confluence, we attached a Geofón magnet to the railing, amplifying earthly vibrations, hums of the river, footfall, and spontaneous voice play.
The walk offered a gentle disruption of how we move through public space, inviting deeper attunement to place and presence.
