The Memory Library
Look, listen and immerse yourself in the memories and stories of the London Borough of Hounslow community. In autumn 2019, Marie Klimis interviewed 12 Hounslow residents to collect their reflections on the area.
Each audio section below corresponds to a drawer of the installation. The installation is currently available at Heston Library and will tour to several Hounslow libraries throughout 2020
