Audio walk: Thoughts on Mourning

This audio walk is a meditation on modern versus Victorian mourning practices. Interweaving quotes from then and now, with stories, the walk is set to the music of The Black Heart Procession, with exit music ‘Dance While the Sky Crashes Down’, by Jason Webley.

If you undertaking this walk in person, enter Abney Park Cemetery from the wrought-iron gates entrance on Stoke Newington Church Street.

Dr Romany Reagan created a number of audio walks as part of her PhD studies into artistic interactions with heritage sites in 2017.
