Welcome to Adventures in White Privilege; 50 minutes in the lives of 3 foreigners in Helsinki.
Welcome to Adventures in White Privilege; 50 minutes in the lives of 3 foreigners in Helsinki. Created by Alexia Andrei, Marjorie H Morgan and Rosie Swayne A site-specific audiopiece that begins in Oodi central library, and takes the listener on a narrated, comical, musical wander around the railway station and surroundings, and finishes back in Oodi. The listener first collects a map entitled "Adventures in White Privilege" from the brochure stand next to the info desk on the first floor of Oodi Central Library. The map includes a QR code that can be scanned with a smartphone, which will open a link where the audiopiece can be either streamed or downloaded. The listener can then hear the track through headphones and follow the directions of the audio and the map. For potential listeners who require the loan of headphones and/or mp3 player to access the piece, there will be a small number available on request at the info desk. The piece is free of charge and will be launched at 15.00 on 24.09.23 and will be available at any time during Oodi's opening hours until 24.10.23. The piece is in English, though transcripts in Finnish will be available soon. Detailed arranger: Alexia Andrei, Marjorie H Morgan and Rosie Swayne
