The people of is an audio walk that creates a fleeting portrait of an ordinary high street. Just two miles from Manchester city centre, Northmoor Road in Longsight is a meeting and crossing point for all sorts of different people.
This intimate audio walk guides you along a well-trodden route. As life carries on around you, tune into the voices of the people who keep this place alive.
The greengrocer who used to keep pigeons in Pakistan, the cleaner who grows sunflowers on her balcony, the auto electrician who is learning on the job, the tour guide who plays his saxophone in the local park, the person living on the 15th floor with a bird’s eye view of it all.
The people of is created from a fascination with how we live together – how our daily lives depend on, and collide with, those we don’t really know.
Made by Quarantine, through interviews and encounters with the people who live and work in the area.
Available from 5 February until 20 February 2022.
