Almanac for a Walled City

The Nerve Centre

About this app

Almanac for a Walled City is a site-responsive, immersive sound artwork created by the Department of Dreamtime for Derry’s historic city walls.

Taking the form of an interactive soundwalk accessed through a geolocated app, Almanac for a Walled City takes inspiration from the importance of almanacs and weather forecasting in Irish history to speculate on the future of Derry, as listeners walked along the city’s 400-year-old walls.

Surveying today's existing landscape, listeners will reflect on Derry's current place in ecological history, while contemplating how the relationship between our society and our environment might change over the next 400 years, as it is shaped by our ever-changing weather.

Almanac for a Walled City has been created in collaboration with the Nerve Centre and is supported by the ESB Brighter Future Arts Fund in partnership with Business to Arts.

The Department of Dreamtime is a parafictional artwork by Christopher Steenson.
