#2 Music in another way: seeing and touching sound!
Tuesday April 21st 16:00 - 19:00
What is music? Is it just something we can hear? Or maybe not?
In the workshop “Music in another way: seeing and touching sound!”, we will focus on different ways of perceiving and enjoying sound and music. Together we will discover, through discussing and playing, what music is all about, what it consists of and what its role is in our society.
During the workshop, participants will have the opportunity to experiment with tools for visualizing sound and music, to feel music through vibrations and of course… to play music!

Did you know that Christine Sun Kim transformed the voices of Deaf people into music? That Freddie Mercury paved the way for more liberated, androgynous and queer gender expressions on stage? Or maybe that Mikis Theodorakis argued that we have no right to be unhappy?
An original card game, designed with suggestions from the Community of Deaf and Hard of Hearing People as well as music professionals. Participants will discover personalities - disabled or non-disabled - who left their mark on the world of music. Through a manifesto phrase for each personality, the opportunity opens up to get to know them better and explore aspects of the history and meaning of music.

These three workshops were designed based on the material gathered from the three open sessions held in January and February at the MusixLab of the Friends of Music Society, which included music professionals, D/deaf and hard of hearing individuals, and Greek Sign Language (GSL) interpreters.
The aim of the sessions was to explore the issue of accessibility and inclusion in musical information and material from different perspectives. The contribution of the participants was crucial in shaping the workshops as co-creation, which is at the heart of this project, is a necessary condition for meaningful inclusion.
These events had interpretation in Greek Sign Language by liminal.
