Sounds of Horeca is an installation that reflects on the current societal situation created due to the measurements of Corona.
On the last days that cafes were open, we recorded the sounds of the communal ritual that accompanies coffee drinking so we can take this audible environment with us in the quarantine.
We invite you to grab a cup of coffee, scan the QR code, and immerse yourself in the stories and sounds of Horeca.
