Youth participants in Listening Across Neighborhoods present their local neighborhood sound stories for the public. This first event of two events takes place at Build Chicago, 5100 W Harrison Street, Chicago IL 60644.
Initiated by NON:op Open Opera Works, Listening Across Neighborhoods is a new sound and public speaking project in which Chicago youth work together to learn critical listening, audio recording and editing, storytelling, and public speaking as they learn about each other’s neighborhoods and how gentrification impacts the sound and feel of their neighborhoods.
