Soundscape Walking Tour

  • Galt Museum & Archives 502 1 Street South Lethbridge, AB, T1J 1Y4 Canada (map)

A visitor tries Jessica Thompson’s Walking Machine outside of the Galt Museum & Archives.

Join us for a guided exploration of both internal and external soundscapes as part of the Politics of Sound exhibition. Participants will activate new listening practices using two of the exhibition’s interactive artworks, Jessica Thompson’s Walking Machine and Adam Basanta’s Plugs (the most important thing is). Listen to the city—and yourself—in ways you’ve never heard before! Please note this program will be both inside and outside of the museum. Wear comfortable footwear and appropriate clothing for the weather conditions.

The interactive artworks used in this tour can be borrowed at no cost for a self-guided experience during museum open hours. To schedule a structured tour with a museum staff member at a time that works for you, please email kristin.krein@galtmuseum.com or call 403.320.4700.
