Seascapes: Whitburn Resonance

Whitburn Resonance is a community project that focuses on the sounds of the medieval fishing village of Whitburn on the North East coast. The project aims to understand how the local soundscapes have changed over time by combining archaeological data and sonic research.

The project emphasises connecting people to the area and encourages reflection on the coastal environment. Through participatory research and acoustic mapping, the goal is to foster a stronger sense of stewardship and appreciation for the marine heritage and seascape among coastal communities.

In this episode, we hear from Professor Caroline Mitchell, Artist; Shelly Knotts & participants; Ian Bower and Elsie Ronald.
