A multi-sensory sound experience and automatic writing workshop with artist and composer RIEKO.
In preparation for the Spring Equinox—a symbol of renewal, transformation, and spiritual balance—we invite you to 𝘚𝘌𝘈𝘕𝘊𝘌𝘚 𝘣𝘺 𝘙𝘐𝘌𝘒𝘖: 𝘙𝘦𝘣𝘪𝘳𝘵𝘩, a multi-sensory sound experience and automatic writing workshop led by artist and composer RIEKO. Set on the ground floor of Turner Contemporary, with the ocean as a backdrop, participants will be guided on a journey designed to awaken their intuition and creative potential, connecting past, present, and future selves through a collective experience.
