Home Makers

The soundwalks on this site will guide you through places that might be new or familiar. Each walk includes a map or instruction, and a soundtrack that you can listen to while you do the walk. Through your headphones, you’ll hear the voices of the migrant domestic and care workers who chose to take you to this place.

 

This collection of soundwalks aims to centralise collaborators’ own decision-making about what story to tell, and each soundwalk expresses just a fragment of a person’s experiences and perspectives. As listeners, it asks us to acknowledge the limits of our understanding, as well as our points of affinity, alliance or empathy. More soundwalks will be uploaded to the site throughout the project. Sign up to receive an email about new soundwalks on the Feedback page, and read more about how the soundwalks are made here.
