River Irwell Sound Walk

Join artists Hayley Suviste and Lizzie King for a guided sound walk along the River Irwell in Peel Park. About During this soundwalk, we will slow down and listen closely to the river and its surroundings, using different recording methods to explore often-hidden layers of sound, including the river’s underwater world. The walk will end with a relaxed conversation over hot drinks back at the New Adelphi Exhibition Gallery about what we noticed, heard, and experienced. The walk builds on approaches developed through The River Has Many Lives , an audio-visual artwork currently showing as part of the Carry the Clouds Away exhibition which explores the varied ways in which we find inspiration, connection, and solace in places of nature. This workshop will be ran as part of Go Green week festival with the University of Salford Sustainability team! For the soundwalk guests will meet at 12:30 at the New Adelphi Exhibition Gallery, before walking down to the river to commence the sound walk. We will then return to the gallery to talk about our findings over hot drinks! This event is free, however you must book your free tickets in advance. Spaces are limited so make sure to book. The New Adelphi Exhibition Gallery is located on the ground floor of the New Adelphi building. The gallery is wheelchair accessible, with seating, toilets, and a shop/cafe for refreshments available within the New Adelphi building. Read more on our Carry the Clouds Away exhibition here.
