For this workshop, Dr Colin Black invites participants to tune into their acoustic environment and delve into the process of deepening individuals’ sense of self and connection with their environment, their sense of place, space and wider community. Participants will explore the creation of their own psychogeographic sound maps, emphasizing the emotional impact of the site nuanced from an intersection of psychological and sonic geographical perspectives. In effect, Dr Black aims to open the ears of the participants to consider how soundwalks can be treated as a self-expressive art therapy resource to assist with personal well-being.
