parkParty

Cultural education

parkParty is an outdoor workshop where participants discover how contemporary artists observe and interpret nature through listening and guided movement in space. The workshop encourages community building, spatial awareness, and focused perception of sound.

The format uses a silent disco system: participants follow sound guidance through headphones while the mentor leads tasks and reflection through live microphone communication. Selected examples of sound artworks support the practical exploration process.
