On Happiness, in collaboration with Wellcome Collection

Sara Mohr-Pietsch with a nocturnal musical journey through joy and tranquillity, in collaboration with Wellcome Collection.

In collaboration with Wellcome Collection, Sara Mohr-Pietsch takes us on a musical journey through joy and tranquillity, inspired by a season of exhibitions, events and activities exploring the complexity of positive emotions called 'On Happiness', which runs until February 2022 at Wellcome Collection. Tonight's episode includes sounds of ancient forests captured in Washington State and the Japanese island of Yakushima, as featured in a multisensory installation by French photographer Chrystel Lebas and we also hear part of a soundwork by sound designer Xana which is used in Harold Offeh's installation exploring the restorative power of dance.
