Ao Naga is an ongoing co-creation project inspired by Ao Naga land, a region in India where an ethnic minority community has preserved its own spoken language, yet has no written script. As this unique cultural and sonic heritage is gradually being forgotten, the project seeks to draw attention to these voices and keep them in public memory.

​

To respond to this, we created a workshop that invites participants to draw ethnic music. The central idea is to let sound guide the body into drawing, allowing movement, listening, and imagination to become part of the creative process. In this way, imagination itself becomes a form of preservation. Rather than simply observing heritage, participants are encouraged to actively engage with it through embodied and collective creation.

​

As the project continues to develop, it explores how sound, imagination, and participation can open new ways of preserving cultural heritage.
