SESSION is a project modelling itself after an incubator that invites cultural practitioners to engage with questions that emerge out of a given exhibition.

EMILIA-AMALIA | in residence invites Therapeutic Sound Practitioner Samara Livingchimes to lead a meditative sound bath for a small group of participants in the spirit of Pauline Oliveros’ principle of deep listening.
