Part 1 Sound Walking In the first part of the workshop we will follow a route around and through Hebden Bridge, listening and documenting the sounds of different environments. We will trace the sounds heard, remembered and imagined. You will learn how to tune in and out of your environment exploring what it means to be an active listener. Part 2 Sound Mapping In the face of climate change, the need to chronicle the auditory character of our ecosystems takes on profound importance. As part of this workshop, you'll be guided to navigate the different layers of our sonic environment - the acoustic horizon, the foreground sounds, the background hum, the ambient whispers, and even the poignant absence of sound. We will translate these acoustic experiences into a tangible map. This sensory artefact will serve as an intimate testament to the sonic territories and fleeting auditory moments encountered on our journey. Through this immersive workshop, you'll not only explore the art of listening but will also shape your own narrative in the ongoing dialogue between sound and space. |

FURTHER INFO
From Gibson Mill we will ascend to the ancient hilltop village of Heptonstall to take in views of the entire catchment and consider the role that moorland restoration and other natural flood management techniques will play in making our river systems safer for us and better for wildlife. We will return to Hebden Bridge down the old cobbled packhorse route of The Buttress. This five-mile walk will take in steep sections; uneven, muddy paths; and long grass that will potentially be wet. There will be stiles to climb and a total ascent of 300 metres.

ABOUT TRUDI
Trudi Entwistle is a practising artist working in the public realm. Her artwork lies between the boundaries of land art, sculpture and landscape design. For more than twenty-five years projects have taken her to diverse landscapes throughout the world where her outdoor and gallery-based installation work explores site, memory, association and place. Her work is site-specific, investigating how sculptural forms integrate with their surroundings, interacting with human movement and the changing elements of light, weather, natural growth and decay. For more than 20 years commissions have taken her to diverse landscapes from her local Pennine hills to around the world, such as America, Finland, Lithuania, Taiwan, Germany, Japan, and South Korea. Her work is either temporary or permanent which has been exhibited and used as a stage hosting events ranging in scale from social gatherings or remains, simply, as a focus for the solitary act of contemplation. |
