Echoes of Movement

What do the sounds we encounter while traveling reveal about our subconscious connections to memory? Elana, Adrianna, and Alysa bring their unique perspectives to this question in a journey through sound, music, and memory. From the rhythm of a familiar tune to the subtle nuances of language, they explore how these elements shape our identities and perceptions, especially when crossing borders. Together, they unravel how sound stirs emotions, bridges cultural gaps, and sometimes highlights the displacement we feel when away from home.

Dive into the powerful relationship between sound and memory. Elana brings her findings on how music can evoke vivid recollections of past travels, while Adrianna explores how language—often intertwined with sound—can forge connections or create feelings of alienation. Alysa takes us deeper into the experience of identity transformation while navigating between countries. Together, these reflections on the norms and transgressions of sound create a vivid landscape of human connection and cultural exchange.
