Sixth Series
Sunne Ghar (Listening House) is a quarterly series organized by the TAG group, Kokomhendo Ensemble, and Naissance Phalanx. The program provides a platform for storytellers from all walks of life to share their experiences through various forms of art. Whether they are farmers, laborers, housekeepers, grandparents, newcomers, immigrants, natives, or veterans, anyone can express themselves through mediums like painting, music, poetry, performances, and digital media. This time, we invited young immigrant children, adolescents, and elderly individuals to share their feelings in an open environment. The project aimed to alleviate the mental stress faced by immigrant communities and bridge the generational gap between people.
