Welcome to the Milton Keynes Rose Audiowalk and video.
The audio walk and video was created by lead artist Jakub Rokita as part of the Milton Keynes Rose 10th Anniversary Art Project. It features his original sound compositions, field recordings, and texts brought to life through the voice of published Milton Keynes author Ralph Keats.
It is a visually stunning work that captures the essence of the MK Rose and its evolution within the community of Milton Keynes.
This poetic journey through time and memory invites you to explore the Rose not through facts and dates alone, but through the voices of those who helped shape its story. You’ll hear from artists, writers, civic leaders, and local changemakers—people who, over nearly two decades, contributed to the vision, creation, and continued life of this remarkable civic space.
Though the Rose was unveiled in 2013, the idea of a public monument for remembrance and celebration began much earlier. What you hear in this walk is shaped by those long-standing conversations, collaborations, and community hopes.
