Sound Walk on Harcourt Road
organized by Clara & Gum@C & G Artpartment
We sincerely invite you to join us at this sound walk to explore the interwoven sounds and stories from both Sheffield's and Hong Kong's Harcourt Road. With its dual existence in the two cities, Harcourt Road is a symbolic space for reflection on the complexities of decolonisation. By traversing the sonic landscapes of both locations, we hope to delve into the intertwined narratives and encounters that have unfolded along these thoroughfares, challenging us to confront the complexities of identity, history, and the shaping of our shared heritage.
