THE SOUND AGENTS EXIST TO GIVE SELDOM HEARD VOICES OPPORTUNITIES TO SHARE THEIR STORIES THROUGH ENGAGEMENT WITH THE ARTS

The Sound Agents promote public understanding and access to communities by recording the personal and everyday experience of Liverpool life.

The purpose of the organisation is to work inclusively with people from under-represented communities to provide opportunities to share stories using the Arts as a tool for communication.

Working outside the structure to bring together older people to pass their skills on to the younger generation by working creatively to share talents, experience and enthusiasm to bring people together to improve health and well-being and create opportunities for young people to get involved in Socially Engaged practice.

The Artists have worked with Liverpool residents and Dockers and people from Arab, Chinese, Jewish and Irish communities.

Commissioned in 2020 and 2021 by The Liverpool Irish Festival to celebrate the feast day of Saint Brigid and their Irish heritage, using the creative community funding awarded by the Irish Government's Emigrant Support Programme.
