Peter Kus: Sounds of Sea and Wind

Cultural education

The workshop was developed as an accompanying programme to Bojana Šaljić Podešva’s sound installation vIDEN. Participants learn how to recreate the sounds of sea and wind using everyday objects and simple instruments.

In the practical part, children build one or two simple instruments and experiment with imitating animal sounds present in the installation’s sonic world.
