Slavic Soundwalking is a two-year literary and multimedia initiative that bridges the principal cities of Croatia, Slovenia, and Serbia through mobile application. This project aims to spotlight and promote South Slavic literature and language while also fostering cultural collaboration among these neighboring countries.
The Slavic Soundwalking project merges the age-old pleasure of storytelling with the physical act of walking through urban landscapes. By transcending traditional boundaries of literature and geography, this project offers an avant-garde approach to experiencing the stories and voices of the Slavic world.These stories, selected through a call to writers from Croatia, Serbia, and Slovenia, are experienced while walking, creating a unique sensory journey that surpasses the traditional confines of reading.
Slavic Soundwalking invites individuals to step outside, headphones in ears, and embark on curated routes. As they navigate through city streets, the environment around them is quietly transformed by the power of audio storytelling. Each location, while not directly linked to the stories, acts as a backdrop that enhances the listener's imagination, making the narrative experience deeply personal and universally accessible.
The SSW project is not just about the act of walking but about how the movement through spaces can unlock a new dimension of literary appreciation and engagement. Through this innovative fusion of physical activity and cultural exploration, participants are offered an opportunity to connect with the soul of Slavic creativity in a profoundly personal and dynamic way.
