About this audio guide
This audio guide to Spivoche Pole in Kyiv follows a hillside laid out in the late nineteen eighties for song contests, and what happened when the city's flower show moved onto the same slope. It touches on the gardeners' seasonal calendar and the spring of twenty eighteen, when a tulip show set out to sketch the world's cities in bulbs. Best heard from the top of the slope, looking down toward the Dnipro.
