Grant Museum collaborates with radio collective In the Dark
The Grant Museum听is always looking for new ways to use their听collection听to engage visitors with research at UCL as well as听the natural world. In 2016/17 they听began an exciting year-long collaboration with radio collective In the Dark.
Working with In the Dark's audio producers and researchers from UCL they will produce听a series of audio cinemas听(think a cinema without the pictures) that celebrate the natural world through sound and audio storytelling.
Visitors听will be invited to听take part in听these listenings, where they will be submerged into听(near) darkness to enjoy the sounds of nature and the people who have some amazing stories to tell.
If you鈥檝e ever been woken up by the sounds of foxes vigorously copulating next to your recycling bin then you鈥檒l know we鈥檙e not the only species to call our cities home. But is there more to urban wildlife than foxes and pigeons?
The first audio cinema kicked off on Tuesday 27 September where the Grant听explored the sounds of urban wildlfe with Alison Fairbrass from 宅男视频 Centre for Biodiversity and Environment Research.
Alison is a researcher who听has been out on the streets, churchyards and rooftops of London setting microphones to capture the sound of the urban landscape to understand the diversity of the animal life in urban areas.
