ERSKINEVILLE SOUNDWALKS

Taking art to the streets of Erskineville as part of PACT’s 2022-2023 Sound Out the Street program.

SONGS FOR PHANTOM DANCES:

From the balletic history of the Kirsova Parks 1 & 2 to the toe-tapping of the old shoe factory; from the thumping pumping joy of The Imperial, to the sporting choreographies of the local oval, Songs for Phantom Dances invites the participant to listen and move through Erskineville with curious ears and dancing feet.

Artists: Gail Priest and Amy Flannery

WALK WITH US:

Walk with us on beautiful Gadigal country…today a meeting place for people from many Aboriginal nations. Journeying from paperbark to swamp land, from PACT Centre for Emerging Artists to South Eveleigh's Cultural Landscape Garden, you will meet and walk with local Elders and knowledge holders on a journey through deep time and culture, through stories unfolding under the fig trees, to the landscape of today.

Artists: Henrietta Baird and Rowan Savage

sound out the street curator & cultural programmer

“At Twilight - as Sunset draws near - Sound Out the Street is a site-specific relational space activation in Erskineville Village which honours the transient and itinerant nature of our Arts communities of creatives, and it speaks to the variety of intersecting stories through Art. It is a Street intervention.

Sound Out the Street centres storytelling and the call’n’response of conversation. It offers an intimate peek at the ultimate risks taken in being emergent and experimental.

Many of the Artists are well-known with established practices, but for Sound Out the Street they have been asked to return to their own familiar, to core practices and to initial forms of expression that they are willing to share within the context of an Urban Village setting at Sunset. Their prime directive, if you will.” - Sam & Sēini
