In This Place | Soundwalk
The project, realized in collaboration with Marcin Dymiter and Ludomir Franczak, focuses on the outskirts of the former KL Plaszow site: in the area around Jerozolimska Street and near Swoszowicka Street.
In the first location, human voices dominate: the words of residents, researchers, guides, descendants, and decision-makers—people who, in various ways, interact with this space and attribute different meanings to it.
In the second location, sound elements and recordings play a key role, referring to the agency of nature and non-human actors, drawing attention to nature—its memory and subjectivity—vegetation, and the shape of the landscape.
The walk will be led by Marcin Dymiter
When? Sunday, April 6, starting at 10:30 a.m.
Where? Meeting point at 10:20 a.m. by the Monument to the Victims of Fascism.
Guided by: Marcin Dymiter
This edition of the walk will focus on nature as a crucial element of this area – the types of vegetation, the formation of the landscape, and the impact of the changing city on its surroundings.
Please bring your own smartphones and headphones – they will be essential during the event.
If possible, we kindly ask you to download in advance the free, easy-to-use Echoes app, which is necessary to start the walk. The app enables a sound-based experience of the space.
Note: Due to the multisensory nature of the experience, we strongly recommend exercising caution and paying close attention to your surroundings while using the Echoes app – especially near pedestrian crossings, busy streets or intersections, and construction areas.
Duration of the walk: up to two hours.
Participation in the event is free of charge. Registration is required.
The project is funded under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (KPO), supported by the European Union through the NextGenerationEU fund, the Thinking Through the Museum network, and the Association of the Jewish Historical Institute of Poland. The project is also co-financed by Urszula and Wiesław Żyznowski.
