The Other City

“I really LOVED how mindful the experience was. I also loved watching/observing the city, stepping back from it and taking my own journey which did not involve running from one place to the other.”

– Audience member

Open your eyes, really open them and listen.

How often do you really notice the city around you? Cities today are so big, so complex and so busy that our brains have to shut things out just to survive. The Other City invites you to take those blinkers off – to see what we don’t usually notice, to pay attention to what’s really there.

We created this audio show in collaboration with Dr Matt Davies from Newcastle University. The show invited audiences to take a self guided tour around their own city whilst listening to the show.
