About this Event
Parallel/Play brings together visual artists and musicians for a creative dialogue in real time, where sound and image respond to each other as they happen.
For this special edition at Manifesto Market, in collaboration with We. Make. Berlin, we welcome , a Berlin-based composer and performer of the gayageum, the traditional Korean zither. Her music moves between emotional, melodic pieces, groovy rhythmic compositions and electronic-inspired sounds, blending traditional techniques with modern harmonies. Her work is shaping a new genre: Korean Neo Classic.
While she plays, Parallel/Play makers Lavia Lin and Riikka Korpela paint live, turning the music into images as it unfolds. Partway through, they swap canvases: each artist continues the other’s painting, so the works become a dialogue not only with the music but with each other.
Collective Recording
The audience is invited to join in. Every guest receives a small card to draw on in response to the music and painting.

About Parallel/Play
Parallel/Play is a Berlin-based live performance series pairing visual artists with musicians. Each evening moves through three parts: The Prepared Dialogue, where artists bring something shaped in advance; The Improvised Encounter, where they meet in the moment; and The Open Playground, where the audience joins in. It’s a space to create, improvise, and experiment across visual art, music, and word. Launched in April, this is our fourth edition, in collaboration with We.Make.Berlin.
