London Breadcrumb Project
December 02, 2023
The London Breadcrumb Project is an urban navigation tool that recentres personal and community heritage
in contemporary cities. Oral histories of long-term res- idents are transformed into soundscapes in combina- tion with archival sound footage, while newcomers are provided a ‘compass’ that leads them blindly towards these designated locations. Inspired by community storymapping experiences such as Queering the Map and [murmur], the London Breadcrumb Project un- flattens the emotional landscape of present-day cities and encourages a psychogeographical exploration of unfamiliar urban environments.
