Long before language was disciplined into order, there was vibration: sound carried by water, air, and bodies moving together. Dissident Chorus begins from this premise that sound, like water, resists containment, erodes borders, and carries memory without permission. Busan Biennale 2026 looks at how waves and frequencies between the sea, human and non-human bodies attune to each other, investigating how embodied and sonic practices can become tools for communication, healing, and resistance.
