Invisible Cities Project

Invisible Cities Project Invisible Cities is a participatory project exploring the relationships between people and place. The recording process will take approximately 10 minutes.

The story of the city is written as its people interact with its places through the simplicity of everyday life. We construct the sounds and the sights of the city with our busking and street art;
we give it personality by exchanging smiles, stealing kisses and slamming car horns;
we draw the lines on the map through our paths to work. Our stories build the city, brick by brick, paragraph by parag

raph. It maps the memories held in sites around the city, and explores the cities we each hold in our minds. You are invited to contribute a brief story, anecdote or memory about your relationship with a particular place around Fremantle (WA) or Brunswick (VIC) - a park, a street, a station, a corner, a laneway, a place that no longer exists, a place that used to be special, a place that you'd like to be special...

As stories are recorded, the audio is embedded in the story sites, and an Invisible Cities plaque will be affixed at the locations. People can visit the story sites to unlock and listen to the free Invisible Cities app - downloadable from www.InvisibleCities.com.au. If you're interested in contributing a story, please contact [email protected] to arrange a time to meet at your story site in Fremantle or Brunswick for the audio recording.

*** Invisible Cities Fremantle ***

Newly reelected Fremantle Mayor retells a fascinating story about this “missing tooth”, odd-one-out modern building in Freo’s historic West End heritage precinct: “Great cities - and the reason I love Freo - is that they’re places that have layers and stories. This is just another layer… it stands now as a marker of what Fremantle might have been”
