Annie Saunders: CURRENT

** NOW EXTENDED THROUGH OCTOBER 8th! **

“The vignettes [presented in CURRENT], timed to play at the golden hour, are casual, edifying and candid, asking us to consider the overlapping landscapes of the cemented-over wetlands, the skyscraper canyons, the storm surges.”  –  Alexis Soloski, The New York Times

Winner of the 2021 Tribeca Festival Immersive Creative Nonfiction Award and the Tribeca X Award, CURRENT is a site-specific soundwalk though Lower Manhattan accessed via a custom website, using your own mobile device and headphones. CURRENT immerses participants using binaural sound, composition and environmental recordings to draw together a narrative that includes themes of water, time, construction, destruction, synchronicity, and resilience.
