A showcase of six immersive installations created by local residents with partners from the University of Warwick.

Sarah Farmer - “Godivarius: Lost and Found”

If an object retained an echo of everyone who touched it, what story would it tell? Sarah Farmer explores sound, music and culture in Coventry and the possibilities and failings of data storage from the perspective of a found violin.

Laura Nyahuye - Echoing sound, breadcrumbs of memory

What does it sound like as cultural memory is handed over from generation to generation in migrant communities in Coventry? Taking the form of a live spoken-word performance followed by a public conversation, in this work the City of Coventry will be heard as a site both of sanctuary and diversity, of joy and sorrow, and sound as a source of power.

Natsu - Sampling the Future Sound of Coventry

An audio-visual installation consisting of three short films with sampled soundtracks using vintage and modern equipment and methods each focussing on Coventry characteristics: Transport & Industry, People & Communities and Buildings & Environment. 

Adele Reed - Small Folk Found Sounds

A fun and playful interpretation and experience based around the future sounds of the city. Created through the ears of the next generation, young people of Coventry have produced a unique and inspiring sensory experience that reflects and challenges awareness of our environment.

Jitey Samra and Tarla Patel - North Side of the City

Part of the fabric of the city, Stoney Stanton Road has been a main thoroughfare for pre-war munitions factories, sea cadets and the post-war migration from former colonies. Evocative and thought-provoking, past and present combine in this soundscape and visual narrative based around British South Asian and contemporary Coventrian culture.

Iain Emsley - Unheard City

As we walk around the city, devices and networks are making themselves known at frequencies that humans cannot hear. Using a mobile app developed specifically for this project, listen in to captured samples of these signals and discover the digital futures sounds that keep us connected.
