NOTE: This talk will be DOWNTOWN at 100 Queen Street West in City Hall.
The NYCC is presently closed for renovation.
TONIGHT, on Tuesday August 28th, Gabe Sawhney will be joining us to talk
about [murmur], an audio documentary project that collects and
distributes people's stories about specific places. During their daily
routines, pedestrians walk past sites marked with a sign indicating the
presence of one or more stories, and a telephone number that can be
dialed to listen to them. It allows the listener to hear the story of
that place, in that place; the details come alive as the listener walks
through, around, and into the narrative. The stories are as personal as
the relationship people have with the spaces they inhabit. Secret
histories unearthed, private truths unveiled and tales as diverse as the
city itself are discovered and shared. All members of the community are
encouraged to participate and contribute, so that the "voice" of [murmur]
reflects the diversity of the neighbourhood.
[murmur] launched in Toronto in 2003, and has since grown to communities
in seven cities (with more on the way!). They have been using Asterisk
since 2005.
