Chantry and Calder

room 5 ECHOES

Location: Wakefield

An immersive soundscape inspired by the 14th-century Chantry Chapel of St Mary on Wakefield's medieval bridge, the banks of the river Calder and JMW Turner’s 1798 watercolour study of the same spot. Experience your surroundings in a new way as you explore the bridge, admire the chapel and linger beside the riverbank, enjoying a view of Wakefield today that still bears traces of the one painted by Turner more than two centuries ago. Created by Love Without Sound for Index festival 2019.

In Public Space

In Public Space

In Public Space is both nomadic and permanent - voices of the people for the people. In Public Space is a collaboration between theatre company Selina Thompson Ltd, sound artist Lola De La Mata, and the gathered voices of those living, working and worshipping in and around Lincoln Green, Burmantofts and Mabgate. Collected in houses, cafes and art spaces in the local area – In Public Space is a sound sculptured by the inter-generational musings of neighbours, ex-midwives, volunteers, artists and children of Leeds 9. Through explorations in sounds, field recording and listening practices - Co-Built from conversations, provocations, and atmosphere; exploring what makes us feel at home, how we build safety and dreams of nourishment for our neighbours and communities. Parts 1 and 2… move through generations with reflections of the past and dreams of our future, and how they might repair our relationships to public space and grow something new. Pillars… we encounter more intimate portraits of three residents Jaya, Gloria and Sally Seeds… dotted around LS9, you can hear ten children describe a plant they imagined for their local area during the summer school at East Street Arts
