Geolocated Creative Audio
Overhear is the mobile app that puts audio on the map. We digitally pin poetry, short stories and oral histories to real-life locations, inviting users to explore their environments, collect the recordings and discover new ways to look at the world around them.
Whether in a park, a café, a housing estate, train station, beach or forest, we want to draw people’s attention away from their screens and towards where they are right now. With the help of engaging, localised content, we encourage our users to pause, listen, and see what would otherwise go unnoticed.
To make sure our work doesn’t exist in a vacuum, we organize events alongside the content we put out on the map.
Our walking tours allow people to explore a place alongside a practitioner who can share a personal insight they won’t get anywhere else.
Our workshops create spaces where people are supported to pen their own creative responses to the spaces they explore. Our in-house facilitators guide attendees through exercises designed to generate work that can be recorded and pinned to the places they’re inspired by.
