From August 1 to December 31, 2022, SOCINTEGRA, in cooperation with Ziedot.lv and Latvenergo, implemented the project “Sound of Riga” (“Ieskaņo Rīgu!").
The main idea was to combine and continue earlier
initiatives:
- “Touch”
— an exhibition of tactile objects for people with visual impairments;
- “Recording
Riga” — 30 audio recordings describing Riga’s
architectural landmarks;
- practical
workshops with blind participants.
Within the project, 30 audio installations with 3D
sound were created, linked to architectural sites. These included authentic
city sounds — street noise, creaking doors, birdsong, rain, and wind. All of
this enriched the visual image with soundscapes and made it accessible to
people with visual impairments.
