Listening Through Music - A Hands-on Workshop with Mingala Gita
How can listening become a practice of empathy?
As part of the In Aestivation presentation, this half-day workshop explores the connections between music theory, listening, and shared human experience.

Stay tuned for detailed application information on our social media channels soon.
In October, In Aestivation launched, presenting artistic projects developed through Towards Empathy, a two-year initiative involving ten groups and over 100 participants.
The launch month featured five public programmes, bringing together diverse artistic practices and perspectives on empathy. The series continues through November across Yangon, Nyaung Shwe, and Mandalay.
