Walkshop | Galata's Everyday Acoustic Palimpsest

The soundwalk, which is an integral part of the Everyday Acoustic Palimpsest research practice, involves listening to a previously recorded audio recording of the same walking route and simultaneously walking the route itself. This route disrupts spatial perception -the synchronization between what is heard, seen, and walked- creating a "spatio-temporal rupture." This experience, which transcends the ordinary, will open up a space for discussion on everyday life and public space.

After arriving in Galata, a silent “Sound Walk Without a Route” will be held before the route walk. Following the briefing, the route walk will begin.

The Everyday Acoustic Palimpsest sound walk will take place uphill, lasting approximately 7 minutes and 30 seconds. If participants have any health-related concerns, it is important that they inform us in advance.

Participants are expected to bring: Headphones (noise-cancelling if available), a smartphone, and a recording device if they have one.

Form prepared for individual participants (for informational purposes only)
