The University of Liverpool Autism Hub [other people's stories]

1 sound

So the University of Liverpool Autism Hub is quite young, and activities there have being held for the past year, and it is initiated by my supervisor, the lecture from the university in Liverpool, who's an expert - expert in the field of autism. So it started from the very…. very humble place, but now it's growing bigger and bigger, and more and more people came to join the Liverpool Autism Hub and to share their stories relating to autism. This place is… this place is special to me because this is one of the biggest events I've ever attended ever since I came to the Liverpool. And in it has just really… it helped me to socialise with other people, make me feel the importance of networking, and I met, I have been meeting a lot of like minded people, and I’m also lucky enough to know their stories and their journey in the field of autism, which is really special and a very important lesson for me. Like I said, I un met a lot of lot people from the Autism Hub, they are researchers from the academic area, and they are clinicians from the _ or any clinical organisations, and they have also volunteers who helped to, um, organise the events relating to autism. And attend… being a part of Liverpool Autism Hub just make me feel very honoured, and every time when I saw people's smiling face, and when I… when we got the credit from the attendees, it made me feel like all our efforts is worthwhile.

Liverpool
Inspired by Stories, Mystery and Love, three short stories by Sophie Herxheimer, Hanan Issa, and Joelle Taylor, we invited community groups to respond to their neighbourhood and create an interactive sound walk, produced by sound artist and composer Sara Wolff. Working with Asylum Link, Capeesh and Damien John Kelly House, artists Dan Astles, Phoebe McSweeney and PJ Smith worked closely with their groups to think about moments and memories when they felt like Wavertree and Picton became their home, how they are guided by their favourite places and the times they felt loved living in the neighbourhood. After collecting voicenotes and recorded poems, Sara mapped the memories across the Picton and Wavertree neighbourhood on Echoes, a mobile application for immersive audio for specific locations. How to listen to the Soundwalk Soundwalks are best experienced using a handheld device. Make sure your Location Services are switched on, and that the Echoes app has permissions to use them. Wear headphones. If they have a noise cancellation feature, make sure to turn this off – both for your safety and also so you can hear some of the sounds of the environment as you walk. Please be aware of your surroundings, and take care when crossing roads. Children must be supervised by an adult at all times Please be kind and aware of people and their right to privacy when using the soundwalk, as locations are in public spaces.
