The “Reflections” symposium provides a unique opportunity for public debate about the contemporary music scene in Vietnam and beyond. Featuring individual presentations, discussions and screenings of short films, the symposium will shed light on innovative forms of contemporary artistic expression. Audiences are invited to take part in these discussions between academics and artists about the aesthetics, vitality and sustainability of experimental music and cultural heritage in contemporary society. The symposium is the culmination of a series of knowledgeexchange workshops between artists and researchers in Vietnam and the UK. The workshop participants will reflect on their experiences and the impact of the “Climate of Sound” project. Alongside reflections on individual projects, the discussions will address how the contemporary arts engage with the big issues we face today and consider the potential for artistic work to raise awareness about pressing social problems and the climate crisis.
