LIVE PROJECT: Routes & Roots Into-Bodmin

  

What is Routes & Roots? 

The project aims to create an audio map of Bodmin relating to the following themes: 

1. The Routes & journeys people took, throughout History, to get to Bodmin 

2. Where they have emigrated in the UK and all over the world 

3. The ancestorial Roots of people who live in Bodmin today 

The map is an interactive sound map of Bodmin. It uses GPS technology to locate recordings, on the map,  either in relation to where they were recorded or in relation to their subject matter. Using the Routes & Roots App on a smart phone the recordings will play if you enter an area were a recording has been GPS tagged to.  

It can also be interacted with on the internet or viewed in the Bodmaxx Space on 81b Fore St. 

 

A key  objective of the project is for the map to be co created by the people of Bodmin. It will begin to evolve over the next year. People can participate in the following ways: 

• By creating  their own audio recordings related to the projects  

• By  creating their own audio tours of Bodmin . These could be  in relation to a lived experience of Bodmin or a subject area of interest.
