Soundmarks Aldborough was re-shown at DIG in York between October 2023 and February 2024 as Rose and Rob undertook a new period of research and practice with the Roman York Beneath the Streets project. 

This work has resulted in a new exhibition of painting, sound and film – Soundmarks York – which is on show at DIG from 10th February 2024 onwards.

You can follow the sound and art trail exploring York’s hidden Roman history online now.
