Project Overview

Project Overview

The Listening Walk is a six-part audio project exploring mental health through personal testimony, walking and place.

Each episode follows an individual through a landscape connected to their life and experiences. Their voices are combined with footsteps, weather and the surrounding soundscape, inviting the listener to encounter each story at a human pace.

Rather than presenting mental health as an abstract subject, the project creates space for people to describe their experiences in their own words.
