DESCRIPTION: Cairns is a soundwalk for Green-Wood Cemetery that leads the listener on a solitary poetic journey. Written and narrated by Gelsey Bell with music by Bell and composer Joseph White, Cairns is being created for the social-distancing New Yorker to meditate on the land we inhabit, sink into an arboreal temporality, and unearth the stories of a few historic trailblazers. You can download these tracks on a mobile device and do the walk in-person or simply listen at home and let the audio transport you there. Commissioned by HERE Presented in partnership with Green-Wood Cemetery Additional funding from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts
