About
Choose to contribute to a workshop bringing your favourite sounds of the Old Kent Road or just immerse yourself in a series of presentations and sonic performative interventions from local resident groups, sonic artists, researchers and built environment professionals. All attendees are invited to take part in discussions around sound and the sonic environment and how this contributes to our understanding of the public realm. How will the sonic be impacted following change and regeneration, how can sound shape future development?

AudibleOKR is a loose collective of people working in the built environment who live or work within the sounds of the Old Kent Road. We are interested in how sound can activate our understanding of our local environment and specifically engaging in the changes that come with development and regeneration.
