LISTEN! – Voices in the Shadows of Monuments is an audio walk that examines material traces from the colonial era embedded in buildings and monuments in the center of Copenhagen.The walk takes you from Christianshavns Torv to Kongens Nytorv, creating a polyphonic soundscape. The artists Jupiter J. Child (MZ/DK), La Vaughn Belle (USVI), Sirí Paulsen (GL/DK), Sabitha Söderholm (DK/IN), Oceana James (USVI), Julie Edel Hardenberg (GL) and Bernard Akoi-Jackson (GH) create narratives that intertwine different geographies and times: past and present interweave and testify to how colonialism is not a closed chapter, but still has strong reverberations in the present. You are invited to assemble the fragments that you encounter along the route into new narratives about the city.
The audio walk takes approx. 1 hour and 40 minutes. All you need is a pair of headphones and a tablet / smartphone from which you can play the audio. Feel free to listen to it wherever you are in the world and enjoy the visuals.
