Sounding Stories is a playable sound installation where visitors bring a painted world to life by touching images to trigger music, voices and sound. Created in collaboration with children, the walls become an imagined landscape shaped by their drawings, words and stories. As more artworks are contributed, the sonic world expands and transforms over time. The installation can be presented as a short-term pop-up, a medium-term community build, or a long-term evolving exhibition.

Sounding Stories is a creative workshop where children turn their own drawings into interactive audio artworks. Participants imagine characters and stories, draw them, and record voices, sounds and words to bring their creations to life. These drawings are then transformed into large-scale interactive artworks that speak when touched, allowing families and the wider community to see and hear the stories directly from the children. The workshop celebrates imagination, storytelling and cultural identity, giving young participants creative control and a public platform to share their voices.
