11:30 AM – 1:00 PM Sound Walk led by Marcin Dymiter and Magdalena Świerczyńska-Dolot
Outdoor walk around the centre of Gdańsk | Start: St. John’s Centre in Gdańsk, 50 Świętojańska Street
NO AVAILABLES PLACES
The theme of the sound walk is a tale about the city space. Participants will examine such phenomena as rhythm, movement and echo, which can be heard both in the natural world and in the city. The walking route covers historical spaces, green areas, places where culture and nature meet and other spaces that encourage reflection on what we hear and what is the quality of the sound environment. We will also recall tales, stories of the places and people’s accounts – those recorded in sounds and those that can be easily missed.
