ABSTRACT
This chapter presents case study two audio walks created as part of a public engagement project that worked with a group of young men in Grangetown, Wales. It focuses on the 'other side' of these walks on their consumption by the people who walked them and explores how, as instances of sound art, these walks live within the area, affecting and altering how people come to know, understand and comprehend Grangetown. The chapter explores how people responded to the audio walks. Taking inspiration from Bourriaud's idea of relational aesthetics the chapter explores the lived practices that come after the dot after the material art work has arrived in public space. Grangetown is a neighbourhood that is squashed between Cardiff city centre and the redeveloped area of Cardiff Bay. The audio walk and audio walker, the memories and the materiality of place coincide in the creation of a new imagining of Grangetown.
