# SOUND WALK & COLLAGE Listening to the Everyday
A Creative Zine Workshop
What if the sounds around us could tell us something about ourselves?
Everyday sounds shape how we feel, often without us even noticing. From the rustling of leaves to the hum of passing cars, each sound can evoke emotions, memories, and sensations that connect us to the world around us.
In this workshop, we'll explore the emotional landscapes of everyday life through mindful listening, walking, and creative collage.
By taking a sound walk and paying attention to the sounds we encounter, we'll discover how our surroundings influence our feelings and inner experiences. Through colors, shapes, textures, and words, we'll translate these subtle impressions into visual expressions, creating a handmade zine inspired by the sounds of the everyday.
Rather than simply documenting what we hear, this workshop invites us to explore how sound makes us feel—offering a new perspective on our surroundings and ourselves.
Join us for a thoughtful morning of listening, walking, creativity, and discovery.
