SUMMARY:LINKED - an audio trail
DESCRIPTION:LINKED is Graeme Miller’s seminal radio installation/sound walk about the M11 installed on lampposts across 3 miles of East London. \nSaturday 27 September\n11am – 5pm \nPick-up point for radio receiver\, headphones & map: \nWanstead Library\nSpratt Hall Rd\nLondon E11 2RQ \nFREE\nFor ages 12+ \nLINKED is a radio installation/sound walk by Graeme Miller installed on lampposts across 3 miles of East London\, a response to the creation of the M11 Link Road in the 1990s which involved the demolition of over 400 homes. \nLINKED has endured as perhaps the largest sonic installation and social sculpture in London for 20 years. Commissioned by the Museum of London and launched in 2003\, its radio transmitters have broadcast over a million times the voices of 60+ people who lived or worked in the area impacted by the road. \nAlong a route between Hackney Marshes and Redbridge Roundabout (adjacent to the Link Rd) analogue radio transmitters reveal the stories of families\, road protestors\, railway-workers\, teachers\, disco-goers\, and artists from the substantial community living in houses destroyed by the road including Cornelia Parker\, John Smith\, Christine Binnie and Ian Bourn. Together the assembly of voices evokes a fascinating and moving cross-section of ordinary East London life. \nTo experience this work\, you can borrow a small radio receiver\, headphones & map from our base at Wanstead Library any time between 11am and 5pm. \nPlease note that this is not a led sound walk\, but one that you can do at your own pace. \nThe full route is 3 miles long and can take several hours to complete on foot\, by wheelchair or by bike. However we can offer guidance on shorter routes according to your preferences\, and you are welcome to do one section\, stop in one of the many cafes en route\, and come and go as you wish. \nTo discuss any access requirements in advance\, please feel very welcome to get in touch with producer Nikki Tomlinson\, nikkijtom@gmail.com. \n \n  \n\n  \nCredits: \nLINKED was commissioned by Museum of London and launched in 2003\, produced by at Artsadmin. Generously supported by Arts Council England\, Heritage Lottery Fund\, London Boroughs Grants Committee part of the Association of London Government\, Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and the London Boroughs of Redbridge and Waltham Forest. The restoration of LINKED (2022 – 2024) was supported by Arts Council England. \nwww.graememiller.org
