At the Root of the Tree: A Sound Walk with Sophie Mankowski
A 2.5-hour guided sound walk through the heart of Mount Royal with Sophie Mankowski, dedicated to the trees, the history, and the fragile nature of Mount Royal.
Accompanied by creator and director Sophie Mankowski, this immersive 2.5-hour walk offers an excerpt from the sound experience At the Root of the Tree. Through conversations and listening experiences, participants discover the trees of Mount Royal’s forest, its history, and its unique character. Expert testimony, stories from park users, and sensitive perspectives reveal the hidden dimensions of the plant world and invite reflection on our relationship with the living world.
