Growing Up With Shanghai February 25 2010 0 comments

Check out the soundwalks project, “Growing up with Shanghai“.

From the About page:

“Growing Up With Shanghai” is a series of soundwalks with young Shanghainese who were born and raised during the rapid modernization of their city in the 1980s and 1990s. These recordings capture not only their most intimate memories of the locations where they grew up, but also the progress and growth Shanghai has undergone in the past 30 years. The current sounds of Shanghai can be heard behind the dialog and also serve as an audio document for future generations of Shanghainese. All dialogue is in Shanghainese or in their local dialect.

There’s also a book available with photos of some of the places talked about in the audio.

Good stuff. Go check it out.
