The performances will be live-streamed via Primary’s YouTube channel if you are unable to attend the event in-person. The live stream will be made available on Primary's channel for you to rewatch in the foreseeable future.

Booking: Booking via Eventbrite for the feedback session and participatory workshop is required. Book Here. There is no need to book for the performances; it is a drop-in and free hybrid event with an optional ‘Pay What You Can’ donation. Donate Here.

Through a call-out for audio submissions, Sonic Sculptures 3 allows people to share their audio work—new or old. Join us to hear music, soundscapes, sonic artworks, work-in-progress, site recordings, readings, performances, and curiosities played back-to-back through an experimental sonic sculpture throughout the day in Primary’s Gallery 1.

A programme of activities will also energise another sonic sculpture built in Primary's playground against the backdrop of an expansive garden.
