Psychosocial sonic mapping involves assembling fragments of the music, sounds and silences that have surrounded and shaped us from birth.
This includes multi-sensorial reflecting on our intimate relationships to sound objects and articulating 'felt' experience.
Through exploring the resulting audio collages, psychosocial sonic mapping aims to interrogate how our musical influences, values and beliefs can be harnessed to disrupt patterns of social inequity and used to practise radical empathy.
Psychosocial sonic mapping as a concept, a methodology and a practice is currently being developed through action research as part of an ongoing commissioned creative project.
Work to date indicates potential therapeutic benefits and applications.
