A Visit from the Demolition Project - 26-27/1: Soundwalk & Workshop!

UPDATE: Room number incorrect. CL0.19, not CL00.19

Following a highly engaging talk at last year's Art & Sound Symposium, participants 'The Demolition Project' are visiting Leicester to undertake an exploratory soundwalk tonight (26/01/16), followed by a workshop (27/01/16) whereby participants demolish local areas of the city by cutting from a map – providing a strong rationale as they go. All are welcome!

---

The Demolition Project is an interdisciplinary collaboration between Alisa Oleva and Debbie Kent that makes work reimagining cities through walking, map-making and participation. Becoming increasingly interested in using sound, The Demolition Project will take participants around Leicester on a soundwalk, later providing the opportunity to demolish it artistically.

They will also deliver a talk about their work on Wednesday 27/1 in CL0.19.

FREE. WELCOME ALL!

Attendees are encouraged to bring their own recording devices to capture sounds throughout the soundwalk!
