Deep Listening by Kathy Hinde
Artist-led walk exploring underwater perspectives of the Bristol floating harbour
In this artist led walk, you are invited to listen deeply to the waterways of Bristol using underwater microphones at the point where the floating harbour meets the gorge. Together, we will contemplate the huge tidal range of the Bristol Channel by positioning ourselves at an edge point of the city - demarcated by a shifting watery passageway that carves a liminal space between the urban and the rural. There are many interventions that keep Bristol’s relationship with water flowing and smooth.
Compositions created from underwater sounds and shaped by tidal data, are integrated into the walk, inviting us to consider the potential future of rising sea levels.
Join us to develop a meaningful connection with the watery environs of Bristol by pausing to reflect through listening from an underwater perspective.
