A Day at McMaster

7 ECHOES

Our soundwalk begins with the rush of the bus and moves through Mills Library, the Student Center, and Togo Salmon Hall. It captures study, energy, and exercise at the David Braley Centre, before entering Ron Joyce Stadium’s cheers and closing in Centro, weaving everyday sounds into a shared student story.

this project contains a series of places I go most frequently in the campus. Those places record lots of memories for me. The target audience are people who go to those place as me. It is common but indispensable place, people may not have too much thoughts for them, but it's a good chance to listen their stories.

Home of Black Excellence @ McMaster

Black Excellence at McMaster is a soundwalk that guides listeners through a tour of strong sites across campus where Black culture, resilience, and community thrive. On each site, points of interest mark locations important to Black students—from vibrant events such as the celebratory BSSC cookout and Black History Month basketball games to moments of reflection in serene gardens to celebratory events such as Black Grad. With narrative, background noise, and arrangement, the walk inspires the feeling of belongingness and superiority that defines these locations. This soundwalk is more than a guided tour; it is an audio journey that exalts tradition, joy, and the resilience of community at McMaster University.

Exploring the South African Apartheid Through McMaster's Lens

This soundwalk will explore the intersection of race, migration and mobility through the analysis of the South African Apartheid and its effects on the McMaster student community. This soundwalk highlights the ways in which institutions similar to McMaster that are rooted in the creation of inclusive, supportive communities fail to recognize intersectional differences between students and their individualistic needs.
