F4Wt presents…Collecting Pl4ces
Forward 4 Wiz Trust’s ground-breaking project Collecting Pl4ces celebrates landmarks of cultural heritage in Rushmoor, by showcasing space-specific works written and recorded from the acoustic mapping of locations that build a catalogue of the sociocultural history of the borough. The project was inspired by a 1960 Ordnance Survey map that highlighted huge changes over time. Rushmoor, like many communities within the UK, has lost most of its once thriving sociocultural scene to commercial development. Collecting Pl4ces acts as a catalogue of audio photographs of our shared past, present and future.
Come and help us celebrate the culmination of our Collecting Pl4ces project celebrating landmarks of cultural heritage in Rushmoor.
We have something unique planned (of course we do!) in our favourite home, the West End Centre. Come hear the music, find out all about what we’ve been up to this past year. Meet the artists, have a chat and a chill.

"I really enjoyed my experience with Spaces4sound, it increased my confidence loads with moving forward in recording and performing. I can't wait to do more, and would encourage anyone to get envolved."
