Summary
An in-person walk around the Gowanus Canal neighborhood in Brooklyn. “A soundwalk is any excursion whose main purpose is listening to the environment” – Hildegard Westerkamp
The Gowanus Canal was designated as an EPA Superfund site in 2010, and legacy fossil fuel pollution is undergoing partial remediation as new apartment towers spring up. The legacy of the arts in Gowanus is also a living part of its heritage as we will see in a stop at Powerhouse Arts (aka the Batcave). Listening to all sounds in the environment brings us into contact with changes as they occur. "Extending our awareness as far as possible to include any and all sounds places one in the center of the environment, with presence and relationship to all that is going on" - Pauline Oliveros
