Invisible City Audio Tours is a series of self-guided alternative audio tours that introduce participants to Bay Area neighborhoods through original works of fiction, music, sound, and visual art. Each one-hour walking tour explores a different area off the beaten path through writing and soundscapes recorded by emerging local artists. At the tours’ launch, commissioned visual artists will create installations that relate to the tour’s various landmarks and overarching themes. The goal of each tour is to first ground listeners in the reality of their surroundings, then transport them into a surreal landscape beyond it.
