SUMMARY:Intentional Listening Session
DESCRIPTION:Join artist\, educator\, and play facilitator Genevieve Victoria Casale Johnson for a 45 minute intentional listening practice in Congress Square Park. This collective exercise leads participants through a practice of observing and documenting the variety of sounds in the park using creative methods. Participants are encouraged to document their experience with words\, images\, textures\, and materials. Please feel free to bring along any materials you like to work with.\n\nIntentional Listening Practices are part of Sounds of Congress Square Park\, an exploratory investigation of sound in public space to encourage individual and collective mindfulness that will culminate in an archive of experiences.\n\nMore about Sounds of Congress Square Park: As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic\, much of the public will spend this summer reintroducing themselves to public life. Stay at home orders\, quarantining\, closure of many businesses and indoor public spaces means outdoor public spaces are both in high demand and potentially threatening to certain groups of people. How and where do people reintroduce themselves to these spaces? Sounds of Congress Square park offers individuals an opportunity to re-engage in a public space slowly and deliberately. The cumulative results of this mindfulness practice will become an archive of experiences of being in the park.

SUMMARY:Intentional Listening Session
DESCRIPTION:Join artist\, educator\, and play facilitator Genevieve Victoria Casale Johnson for a 45 minute intentional listening practice in Congress Square Park. This collective exercise leads participants through a practice of observing and documenting the variety of sounds in the park using creative methods. Participants are encouraged to document their experience with words\, images\, textures\, and materials. Please feel free to bring along any materials you like to work with.\n\nIntentional Listening Practices are part of Sounds of Congress Square Park\, an exploratory investigation of sound in public space to encourage individual and collective mindfulness that will culminate in an archive of experiences.\n\nMore about Sounds of Congress Square Park: As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic\, much of the public will spend this summer reintroducing themselves to public life. Stay at home orders\, quarantining\, closure of many businesses and indoor public spaces means outdoor public spaces are both in high demand and potentially threatening to certain groups of people. How and where do people reintroduce themselves to these spaces? Sounds of Congress Square park offers individuals an opportunity to re-engage in a public space slowly and deliberately. The cumulative results of this mindfulness practice will become an archive of experiences of being in the park.
