Take an immersive, sensory audio walk through the NDSM site and the surrounding port area. In this extraordinary experience, sound, text, smell, taste and performance are brought together in a layered exploration of the place. Through a carefully curated audio walk, a fabric unfolds in which fiction and reality are intertwined. Historical and socio-political layers of the area are made audible, tangible and testable.
About the creators
Lila Bullen-Smith is an artistic researcher from South Africa/Aotearoa. Her work focuses on phenomenological, sensory-based explorations of location-specific histories, with particular attention to the invisible circulation of capital and labour in the margins of the built environment. Megan Hadfield is an artist and writer. She creates textual installations that reflect on communication systems that balance between fiction and reality. Toni Brell works with installation, performance and sound. In her practice, she investigates the interaction between emotional and material relationships through audio-tactile experiences. She uses ceramics, non-traditional instruments, sound and texture as entrances to embodied forms of knowing.
Participants are invited to relate to the environment through their senses, and to reflect on the role of perception in our experience of place and history from an embodied perspective.
