Extract of Canal Audiowalk (3:48)

An immersive audiowalk that takes listeners from the Atwater Market to the Saint Gabriel Lock. Over the course of the walk, memories of residents and workers from the area guide the listener through history. Childhood memories, bridge rides, workers’ struggles, intercultural relations, community organizing, conversions of old industrial buildings… Canal is a trip through time and space that presents this famous navigational route in a whole new light.
