Investigate Infrastructure: Walking Tour

08 July 2021, 12pm - 1pm

Join Artist David Beattie outside Temple Bar Gallery + Studios to construct a listening cone and go on a walking tour in the area.

As a group we will follow a specially designed map, locating various sites in Temple Bar. There will be opportunities to listen to the urban environment, to discover sounds and listening experiences, not immediately recognisable. You will also be invited to take relief rubbings from pre-determined points in the area, using paper, crayons and pencils to transcribe and see the material form of the buildings, footpaths and infrastructure in a new way.

All ages welcome to this free live event. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
