Your own Canterbury Pilgrimage

Your own Canterbury Pilgrimage

For whatever reason, you have come to Canterbury. Walk around the 'Cathedral Quarter' with some great thinkers. Will you find life-changing signs or perspectives? There is no time limit, no path, and no prize for finishing first. Listen and think. Do you get a blessing? Does your life change forever? Was this a mystical experience, an economic structure, psychology, or semiotics? As you and your fellow pilgrims walk around, each sees much the same things, the 'signifiers'. But how do you interpret what you see in front of your eyes? What new concepts and structures form in your mind? You may hear advice from characters such as Geoffrey Chaucer, Guy Debord, Jean Baudrillard, Bernard Stiegler, Sigmund Freud, a Zen Buddhist monk (Thich Nhat Hahn), and a mediaeval mystic (the 'Cloud of Unknowing'). Just look at what's in front of you, consider it from their perspectives, and move on in whichever direction takes your fancy. Focus on the process of understanding what you see, in the light of what you hear.

Hulked

Hulked

A creative heritage exploration of the stories, songs and histories of the Thames Barges. Download the walk. Put on your headphones. Press START. Put the phone in your pocket. Be aware of your surroundings. As you walk, sounds will come. Some of the sounds are longer stories, some are musical elements which you 'play' as you walk through them. Be playful. Be inquisitive. Hulked is a creative heritage project inspired by the histories, stories and songs of the Thames Barges, many of which are now ‘hulked’ along the River Medway. The soundwalk weaves together stories, poems, songs, soundscapes and music as you follow the self-guided route through The Old Brickfields at Lower Halstow. Created by writer Jeremy Scott and sound artist, Anna Braithwaite, the soundwalk includes contributions from students of Lower Halstow Primary School, Hollywell Primary School, Upchurch, and members of the Oast House Community Choir and Thames Barge Community. Visit our website for more information about the walk and its creators: www.hulked.co.uk Choir recorded at the University of Kent with the assistance of Frank Walker and Peter Maher. Field recordings collected on site at Lower Halstow and aboard the SB Edith May.

If you prefer to listen in English, please go to "The Chalk Path- Folkestone - English". Depart À l'extérieur de la station de surveillance de la côte de East Cliff, écoutez la voix des ancêtres via la radio VHF pour remonter petit à petit le temps. La mer est à la fois le début et la fin de tout sur terre - où nous situons-nous dans ce cycle et quelle trace voulons-nous laisser de notre passage ? Cherchez un ancêtre sur la plage et regardez de l'autre côté de la Manche - peut-être que votre voyage est partagé par un marcheur de l'autre côté, cherchant une connexion qui transcende l'expérience humaine. Peut-être qu'une fois cette balade terminée, vous souhaiterez suivre le parcours de l'autre côté aussi ? PREPAREZ VOTRE VOYAGE: **Téléchargez l’audio et vérifiez que votre GPS est activé sur votre téléphone avant de partir. Sinon, les ancêtres ne pourront pas vous trouver.** **Rangez votre téléphone dans votre poche et utilisez la carte papier pour vous orienter. Le son se déclenchera automatiquement tant que vous suivez correctement le parcours et avez activé le GPS.** **Si le son s'arrête, revenez un peu en arrière jusqu’à ce qu’il redémarre. Si cela ne fonctionne pas et que vous êtes sûr d'être au bon endroit, appuyez sur le bouton "lecture". Vous pouvez également mettre l'audio en pause et le redémarrer si vous le souhaitez.** Si vous n’avez pas encore votre carte, vous pouvez la trouver à: Folkestone Urban Room (Tram Road Parking); Kollectiv (The Old High Street); East Cliff Coastwatch station. La balade fait environ 2,5 km et peut être réalisée en environ une heure, mais vous pourriez souhaiter prévoir plus de temps.
