The first iteration of Sounds/ Scents Copenhagen/ Manila featured a conversation and a collective sonic and scent exchange between both Denmark and Philippines. Two countries with seafaring histories, the project highlights notions of navigation and wayfinding in both Copenhagen and Manila.
By creating this auditory repository, the vision is to capture and make accessible cross sections of these two cultures — linked by the seas and the stars.
