ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

From lullabies to the music of mourning, our lives are mapped by the songs we sing and the stories they tell. Whether collective choruses or intimate melodies, they have the power to develop and redefine our sense of belonging. Songs can feel deeply personal, but also remind us that we are part of something bigger. New generations remix these stories, and in doing so celebrate both the past and the future.
