People across Canada are invited to record sounds such as traditional instruments, languages and the sounds of the natural world, like rain or wind
Artist Carey Newman is asking Indigenous people to contribute sounds from their cultures for a virtual reality version of the Witness Blanket, a large-scale artwork that contains items reclaimed from residential schools.
Newman plans to complete the project with submitted sounds from Indigenous people that they associate with their culture to form background noise and sounds that can be triggered by the audience. Newman said he worried the virtual reality version would lose some of the tangible connection to the blanket, and he hopes including contributed sounds will bring it to life.
