Soundings Beneath Southwark - Inspiral Walk

Soundings Beneath Southwark

Saturday May 4 from 2pm-3.45pm

Meet at Dilston Grove in Southwark Park to join us for a short walk from Southwark Park Dilston Grove Gallery toward Stave Hill Ecology Park detouring to Rotherhithe Village with InspiralLondon associate artists Gail Dickerson, Keith Turpin, Isa Suarez and Charlie Fox – a unique perspective on what lies beneath our feet – exploring geology, tunnelling, waste, soil and grounding underground sounds. Sharing the artist research and expertise, you will discover a wealth of knowledge and enrich your imagination by experiencing what lies beneath your feet - all the urban infrastructure, tunnels, engineering that crisscrosses this floating peninsula - super sewers, geological sampling, soils, Brunel's experiments, the infrastructure around the docks. Exploring together, in a fun way, the sounds and resonances that lie beneath us, as we walk the surface of the streets and greenways.

We will then walk onto Stave Hill Ecology Park to join Reveil 11 – soundcamp’s annual live audio feed and deep listening event – from streamers around the world at daybreak for 24 hours of soundings from the environment. see HERE

There will be refreshments along the way but also tea and cake at Stave Hill.
