This multi-channel soundscape and visual narrative explores the community uses of a transient forest that abuts the Newton bus loop and Newton Recreation Centre in Surrey. "The Grove" has witnessed the extremes of human activity, from illicit transactions and tragedies to community connections over Sunday afternoon lunches and art interventions by a group of Newton neighbours who call themselves "Friends of the Grove." A handful of locals are reclaiming this public space and envisioning it as a site to engage passersby. Carmen Papalia, Phinder Dulai, and Andrew Lee delve into the multidimensional use of The Grove to tell its fascinating story.

Presented as part of Open Sound 2015, a three-part exhibition featuring sound art as forms of mapping and counter-mapping.
