Making its Singapore debut, Sonic Shaman 2026: Borderless is an international sound festival that brings together experimental sound, performance and contemporary art. Conceived as a cross-cultural platform for artistic exchange, it convenes more than 20 local and international artists, musicians and thinkers whose practices explore the possibilities of listening, sound-making and collective experience. Drawing on Southeast Asia’s vibrant histories of sound and vernacular musicality, the festival highlights emerging experimental practices across the region and beyond. Through live performances, sound works and oral presentations, Sonic Shaman opens up a shared space where diverse artistic traditions intersect, inviting audiences into new ways of sensing and imagining the world.
A curated Memory Market invites the public to engage their senses beyond listening, evoking memories through taste, scent, and touch. Creative booths, workshops, and culinary collaborations by Singapore-based creatives and designers encourage experimentation, play and collective encounter.
