Soundmarks, an art/archaeology collaboration between Rose Ferraby, Cambridge Archaeologist, and Rob St John using sound and visual art launches at DIG in York. 

In 2019 the pair created work exploring and animating the sub-surface landscape of Aldborough Roman Town in North Yorkshire, UK.

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.
