People Dem Collective x Diasporas Now

In RESONANCE, Ruby Savage leads a deep listening journey exploring how vibration moves through the body, how sound recalibrates the nervous system, and how collective attunement can root us in presence.

Part sound ritual, part meditative grounding, part communal recalibration, this session invites participants to arrive softly, tune inward, and open themselves to the subtle frequencies that guide transformation.

This activation sits at the heart of the residency’s sonic thread, preparing the ground for the closing performances later in the week.
