This workshop, focusing on youth and accompanying guardians, aims to listen and collaboratively reflect on land and urban soundscapes through the creative practice of soundmapping.

The workshop will begin at St. Matthew’s Clubhouse and includes guided exercises through Riverdale Park East. Participants will be led through a variety of creative activities in which they will be asked to listen, write, and draw the sounds that we encounter. This workshop will involve soundwalking through the park, with moments to rest, draw, and share reflections with each other.

Participants are encouraged to dress comfortably. We will be sitting in the grass at various points; participants may choose to bring a small mat or blanket to carry with them for sitting.

Ideally there will be one guardian to each youth participant, though guardians can register additional youths.

PWYCA $10 to $20 for accompanying adult guardians & all youths (under 16) are free. Adults should have a paid ticket for themselves and a free ticket for each youth they are accompanying.
