In the virtual exhibition HAMAMATSU SOUNDS IN 2024—that took place this October—users were invited to explore a two-room gallery showcasing photographs of people making music (or more precisely, to use the term coined by Christopher Small, of people musicking). Captured by Mexican artist Laura Rodríguez, these images reveal the profound joy music generates, its capacity to forge and strengthen social bonds, and its ubiquity in Hamamatsu.
