This is a 40 minute soundscape that had its premiere on 11th May 2019 at North Edinburgh Arts. I worked with Eleanor Thom in producing a creative writing soundpiece with new writers in Wester Hailes, Muirhouse and Liberton.
Citizen is part of Edinburgh International Book Festival On The Road, a series of events and activities around Scotland throughout the year, and is supported by players of People’s Postcode Lottery and through the PLACE Programme (funded by the Scottish Government, City of Edinburgh Council, and the Edinburgh Festivals, and supported and administered by Creative Scotland).
Culture Secretary Fiona Hyslop said: "Citizen is a fantastic opportunity to reach communities across Scotland and give them a chance to explore the relationship with the place they live in, building links and connecting ‘local’ with ‘global’. Working in partnership with organisations across Edinburgh and beyond, this programme is sure to stimulate debate and intrigue audiences, raising Scotland's cultural profile on the international stage.
