Open Waves is a unique and free 12-week wellbeing session series for participants aged 25-45 from African Caribbean communities. It combines the exploration of hidden treasures from the Prince Philip Maritime Collection Centre with live looping, sampling, and music technology. Participants will engage with a variety of objects that aren't on display and respond to them through collective music-making practices, all while focusing on wellbeing.

These sessions offer an introduction to both traditional and contemporary music-making methods, creating a welcoming space for adults to connect, learn, and nurture their creative side.
