"West Bromwich High Street" is a new digital commission by artist and poet, Lee Mackenzie, in collaboration with sound artist Lorenzo Prati and Sandwell Visually Impaired (SVI) community group.
This illustrated poetry map and musical score of West Bromwich connects the High Street to green spaces, as part of Multistory's urban greening cultural programme, Green Roots. The map contains drawings of many of the area's well-known buildings and the sounds of the high street as represented in musical notations.
An accessible version of the map has been produced for blind and visually impaired users, by SoundScribe, and will be available on our website from mid-May 2024.
