exploring the role of sound and listening in natural and cultural environments
You are invited to join the World Listening Project, during two soundwalks which happen in Chicago’s East Garfield Park neighborhood on Saturday, August 1. During a soundwalk, people listen to and explore the sounds of their environment, using a score as a guide…facilitated by Dan Godston and Fereshteh Toosi; they are free and open to the public, all ages.
