What does Plac Grunwaldzki sound like? Is it just the trams and busy streets, or perhaps also the silence, the rhythm of everyday life, and the sounds that create the character of this neighborhood?
Soundscape Seminar – part of the Sounds of Grunwaldzki Square: Hidden project, during which we will listen together to the audiosphere of the Grunwaldzki Square area and rediscover it. We invite everyone who wants to experience the culture and space in which they live through sound.
