Sonic Boundaries: Power and Discipline in Stratford
What if the sounds we hear every day reveal invisible rules about how we should behave?
Sonic Boundaries: Power and Discipline in Stratford is a seven-stop soundwalk exploring how sound reflects social expectations, public rules, and institutional power.
The journey begins in everyday commercial spaces, including a chocolate shop, a coffee shop, and LCBO, where conversations and routine activities create different sound environments. It then moves to a busy roadside, where traffic and warning signals compete for attention.
The final three stops take listeners inside Stratford School, moving from a lively social area through corridors and elevators to a quieter classroom.
As you walk, pay attention to how different spaces influence what we hear, how we move, and how loudly we behave.
Follow the stops in numerical order (01–07) for the intended experience. Headphones are recommended.
