A Seat in Soho was a multimedia exhibition celebrating the voices, history and diversity of Soho’s lesser-known but two and half thousand-strong residential community.
Created and Produced by former Soho Resident Stella Cecil and Creative Producer Tiphaine Tailleux, in collaboration with 8 long term Soho residents.
This is one of the 8 audio portraits from the exhibition, all recorded from each resident’s home and from the comfort of their favourite seat. The stories touch on the pressing issues of our times, including social housing, loneliness, nature and the post-pandemic world.

Randal Morrison is a third generation Huon Piner. He lives in Strahan, Tasmania. Helene met Randal at his saw mill in Queenstown and as they talked he reminisced about his times as a young boy going out with his father to the banks of the Gordon River to collect Huon Pine logs.
The Wayfinder is a mobile recording studio designed and built in Tasmania. It is a professional sound booth with acoustic insulation properties and has been carefully designed to make people feel comfortable and relaxed and conducive to conversation. It was an idea born from the imagination of its creator, Helene Thomas. Inspiration has been drawn from the US initiative StoryCorps and the BBC’s The Listening Project, where stories are preserved in order to build connections between people.
