Stories From Here: An Audio Walking Tour of Bankstown
Stories From Here is an audio walking tour of Bankstown featuring recorded monologues written by local young people aged 16-24 about their experiences in the area and the places that matter to them. The artists have been mentored by local author Kavita Bedford and director-dramaturg Finn Ó Branagáin. The stories were recorded and audio designed by All The Best from frbi.radio.
As you walk through Bankstown, you’ll be invited to view landmarks that are personal to the artists and to see the city through their eyes. You will find posters with QR codes that play the stories, and you’ll be standing in the place where the stories are about.
Take the self guided tour here.
Or tune into part 1 & part 2 on the All The Best podcast.
