Back in 2021 Dr Louise Rondel and colleagues at Goldsmith’s University captured a series of interviews and sounds along the River Quaggy, exploring the soundscape of the urban River Quaggy.
The project strived to understand how the river impacts the local area and vice versa through an interactive app, the public contributed their own field recordings at the participatory workshop and sound walk, and talks from resident scientific and cultural experts, including John Drever and Emma Jackson, about the importance of the river to both the community and local eco-system.
Learn how people interact with the Quaggy and how this heavily engineered South London river is becoming re-naturalised. All done in conjunction with the Quaggy Waterways Action Group (QWAG).
