About the Artist

 

Sounds Like Fun! is a one- day outreach workshop, where participants from different generations will be brought together for an interactive learning experience. The objective of this workshop is to use sound as a medium to trigger memories of emotions amongst the different generations. Memories are often made up of images and presented to us through photographs but the team believes that sounds can also be used as a building block as well as it has the ability to trigger thoughts, express complex messages and communicate ideas.



In the workshop, participants will go through activities where they talk about how sound is relatable to their memories and emotions. After which, the participants will be brought on a sound trail around their neighborhood to stimulate their aural senses and record different sounds that might be interesting to them. The participants will then be gathered together for a time of games and share about the sounds that they have recorded during the trail. Through this programme, we aim to inspire the participants with the resemblance of their reactions to the same sound between the different generations in hope to foster intergenerational bonding.

We believe that intergenerational bonding does not only happen among the communities but it can happen within families as well. As a family nucleus also contains people from different generations, we highly recommend family members to come together for this learning experience so that we can promote both local and community family bonding.
