A Pilgrimage of Sound Festival of Ideas 2023
Event details
This event is part of York Festival of Ideas 2023
Join us for an evocative soundwalk through the acoustic world of 16th-century York that will enable you to immerse yourself in our city’s rich heritage.
As we walk and listen, find out what it is like to connect with soundscapes from the present and the past. This soundwalk is inspired by pilgrimage, as we will focus upon journeying through the natural world as part of our connection with heritage. The pilgrimage will end at York Minster, a spectacular example of the influence of nature upon York’s spiritual and architectural history.
This soundwalk draws upon a year-long collaboration between University of York PhD student Chantal Berry and Laura Denning, artist in residence at the university’s Leverhulme Centre for Anthropocene Biodiversity.
Meeting point: Heslington Hall (main entrance), University of York
