Alisa Oleva

Sounds Like Home

Sounds Like Home creates sonic connections to distant hometowns through a series of sound stations.

Join one of the collective listening walks to discover these sounds from far away places, reflecting on ideas of migration, home and belonging.

Building on relationships artist Alisa Oleva developed during her residency in Leeds last year, the project began as one-to-one walks with people who moved to Leeds from other countries.
