Airs and Spaces – an interactive journey through Galway’s atmosphere and soundscapes

Eugene McKeown of The Galway Sound Lab and Liz Coleman of the Centre for Climate and Air Pollution Studies at the University of Galway will lead a walk through the city from Westside to Wolf Tone Bridge as part of the Climate Inspirations Festival.

Through this interactive walk participants will observe the city in a new way, using their senses to experience the atmosphere. We will explore the air, what populates it, and what it carries: Gases, particles, pollutants, stories, highlighting the sounds and man-made and natural sounds of the living city. 

Walking slowly, we will engage our senses as we move through the city, listening to the soundscapes and observing the quality of the atmosphere. At designated stops there will be a specific listening period and an opportunity for participants to discuss their experience of the sounds and atmosphere of the city.

The event is weather dependent and involves some uneven ground so suitable clothing is required.

This event is in association with The Air We Share and NetZeroCities.
