After the success of their interactive sound installation, the Society of Historic Sonic Happenings (SHSH) at the Up Close Festival 2019/2020, theater maker, Adrienne Kapstein, and sound designer, Bhurin Sead, are partnering again to create a unique sonic experience that celebrates listening as a radical act. In this audio walk, listening is a multi-sensory and meditative experience. It is a playful invitation to be present in your surroundings and embrace the detour in place of direction.

About Up Close Projects

Up Close Projects is a collective of artists and educators whose work occurs in partnership with our communities, driven by engaging audiences of all ages and abilities in thought-provoking immersive civic experiences that are deeply connected to the multilayered histories of public space. United by our formative collaborations at some of NYC’s most iconic cultural hubs – Lincoln Center, the Brooklyn Navy Yard, Governor’s Island, and the Park Avenue Armory – with innovative artist collectives like Blue Man Group and Trusty Sidekick Theater Company – we share the mission of bringing neighbors together to experience their neighborhood in new ways.
