Free27 Sep 2024Cukrarna, lobbyFreeInspired by Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities, Inaudible Cities explores suburban areas through a series of spontaneously generated soundscapes that highlight often overlooked sonorities of urban environments.
Inaudible Cities #3 invites participants to a hybrid walk where normally inaudible flows and movements of earth, air, fire and water within urban infrastructure open gateways to temporally and geographically distant sonic environments and memories.
The project represents the third iteration in a series of soundwalking initiatives exploring urban peripheries, shifting attention from the visual to the sonic and from the extraordinary to the infra-ordinary.
