Dark, Sloshing is an audio work by Sonia Levy and Lucy A. Sames, created in response to the heavily engineered and long-neglected riparian worlds of East Bristol’s historic industrial zone. Weaving voice with field recordings, it traces altered dynamics of hydrosocial, and urban processes, reflecting the city’s imperial, infrastructural, and ecological entanglements.
