A carillon for Cobralo
A participatory project with the residents of the Cobralo garden city
Integration of a sound sculpture: a “carillon”, as part of the 101e% program of the SLRB (Société du Logement de la Région de Bruxelles-Capitale) in collaboration with ABC.
Discover the project in a few words
The project is a sound sculpture: a carillon of 9 bells that will punctuate the time and activities of the Cité du Chat Botté neighborhood. The carillon will be a genuine communication tool, providing a spatial and temporal marker of identity. Indeed, when I met you, I learned that not so long ago, the bells of the Saint-Joseph church overlooking the plateau could be heard. Now, rendered mute by its reallocation, they leave a void and provoke a change in the urban soundscape.
So, let's reinvent a carillon!
Project milestones
Collection of audio testimonies
November 2024 > February 2025
The first stage in the participative creation process is the collection of sound testimonials. We'll be talking to residents about their musical memories, which will inspire the moments when the carillon will ring out. Find out more.
Thursday, February 20, 10am>12.30pm
Thursday August 28, 10 a.m.>13.30 p.m.
The final stage: casting the bells
A crucial step will bring the collective creation phase of the project to a close: the casting of the bells. If possible, this unique event will take place in the neighborhood.
This will be an opportunity to experience this special moment together,
meet the founders and see the bells come to life for the first time, ready to ring at the moments we choose together.
Join us in shaping this collective project and making Cobralo history !
