Mark Salvatus’s project will be launched on November 2024. His Biennale project - working title: Sabihin mo sa Hangin (Whisper it to the Wind) - will feature wind chimes installed in and populating one of the mango trees of the museum grounds. Through wind and sound, guests will be invited to read various words attached to each wind chime. These words have been gathered from a workshop organized with children from the nearby communities of Ibaan. They will move and sing as the breeze passes through the branches, carrying with them the seeds of curiosity and imagination.
