52 minute (2 part) audio documentary for BBC World Service. First broadcast February 2015. Slums have a strong visual identity (we are used to seeing TV footage of densely packed, ramshackle homes squeezed onto strips of land in inner cities). This programme, however, adopts an alternative perspective and examines how slums sound. It focuses on a particular illegal settlement known as ‘the slums of Govindpuri’ in central Delhi, and explores how the sound environment there embodies and reflects local culture.
