Take a guided audio tour through Kenton, part of The Music That Makes Us, presented by the Portland State University Art and Social Practiceprogram as part of Chiara Giovando's "Sound is Matter" Curator-in-Residence season. 

Meet at Disjecta and experience the landscape of the neighborhood through the individual and collective memories of those who have created it. The tour takes approximately 90 minutes. Free and all ages.

Can't make it? You can also experience the tour on your own. The Kenton Audio Walk is a guided tour through the historic Kenton neighborhood. The piece is a collection of interviews and field recordings that were taken in the neighborhood during February and March of 2016, and acts as an audio archive for a phase of Kenton’s history that is marked by rapid growth and change. Listeners are invited to experience the landscape of the neighborhood through the individual and collective memories of those who have created it.

The tour takes approximately one hour on your own. Listen to the directions on our website.
