The author reflects on her personal experience of artist-led sound walks in the urban spaces of Hong Kong. As a participant, observer, and listener, the author lives a generative bodily experience in which the urban fabric as sonic, tactile, and visual is interwoven into memories of—and aspirations for—the city. While listening together in public space does not necessarily make the individuated experiences common and sharable in meaning, the author proposes that the artistic practice of sound walk is salient to understanding the well-being of citizenship because it enables a mode of being that displaces narratives that over-determine the use of public space, reveal their constructed nature, and allow for individuals to become aware of their needs to inhabit urban space-time in different ways.
