What Does Listening Mean To You? New Project to Raise Awareness of Listening In All Its Forms

“Ways of Listening is a unique global project asking you to share your answer to one simple question – “What does listening mean to you?”

The project is a partnership between Cities and Memory and The Evelyn Glennie Foundation to raise awareness of the critical importance of listening in all its forms, and the benefits that better listening can bring to us all.

Collecting creative responses to the simple question “what does listening mean to you?”, we want to put art and creativity at the centre of a global conversation about listening.”

The project is global, open to everyone and multidisciplinary – all creative interpretations, from music and field recording to video, photography, graphic art, poetry and prose are welcome.
