ear.jpg[murmur] is a documentary oral history project that records stories and memories told about specific geographic locations. It collects and make accessible people’s personal histories and anecdotes about the places in their neighborhoods that are important to them. In each of these locations a [murmur] sign is installed with a telephone number on it that anyone can call with a mobile phone to listen to that story while standing in that exact spot, and engaging in the physical experience of being right where the story takes place. Some stories suggest that the listener walk around, following a certain path through a place, while others allow a person to wander with both their feet and their gaze.
[murmur] was first established in Toronto’s Kensington Market in 2003. That same year projects were launched in Vancouver’s Chinatown and along St. Laurent Boulevard in Montreal. Over the past two years [murmur] has grown and expanded across other neighbourhoods in Toronto, Calgary, and San Jose, California. [murmur] Edinburgh launched in Leith in January 2007.
