Our Director presented a pre-recorded guided tour of our museum and participated in a live discussion via Zoom today in Manila, Philippines as part of the Listening Biennial 2023, a worldwide symposium, exhibition and series of events from 6 July – 8 August.

Curated by Filipina curator Dayang Yraola, the Listening Tambayan is one of the many events making up the Inter-Asia Plus branch of the Biennial. A series of six Tambayan episodes are being recorded and rebroadcast over the course of the month-long event. Today’s themed episode, Listening to a Record, also saw presentations by Manila’s DOT ASMR Project and composer Robin Rivera. The session was hosted by Pat Caranza.

The episode will be broadcast via DZUP on Facebook and Youtube 24 July, 10AM-1PM Philippines time (3AM-6AM London time).

The pre-recorded Guided Tour video is available to watch on our YouTube channel.
