Our Work | August 23, 2023
Tricky Hat have been working with people who live and work in the North West area of Glasgow. We were selected alongside 4 other artists and arts organisations to be Artists in Communities from November 2023 to August 2023. This builds on the work and relationships we’ve made working in the area over the 3 phases of Creative Communities: Artists in Residence from 2019 to 2022.
We’ve been collabortating with groups and individuals who live and work across this area and together we’ve created a new sound walk in the area – Round Our Place 2023. 
We’ve been meeting lots of people who have been standing up for what they believe in and want for their communities. We’ve heard stories of love, challenges and triumphs, favourite places and water, lots of water!!
This sound walk is hosted on Echoes.xyz – a geolocated sound app that you can download from your preferred app store.
Take a pair of earphones and your smartphone, turn on your GPS and follow the route. 
You can also listen to the soundscapes on Soundcloud
