Sound carries traces of its time, including collective moods, private emotions, and shared histories that are often difficult to document. As the closing program of Disentangling Entanglement: In Memory of Intimacy, Vulnerability, and Action, this small concert approaches music as a form of archiving. Rather than presenting music as a finished performance, it treats sound as a way of holding and transmitting lived experience.

The concert brings together participants from different generations and creative backgrounds: Mr. Slicker opens with a prelude drawn from his rich journey from underground rock to Shanghai folk; Yiren, together with her friends the band Astronaut Bunny, transforms nearly a decade of relational perception, shifting identities, and emotional currents into music; huhu channels the energy of a new generation through rap; and finally, DJ Luo Zha weaves together the sounds of the past ten years.

This concert does not function as a retrospective summary. Instead, it offers a shared moment of gathering and closure. As the final live program of the exhibition, the concert invites participants to listen, reflect, and carry with them a sonic trace shaped by intimacy, vulnerability, and action. These sounds remain as an archive that may be recalled and reactivated in the future.

Free and open to the public. No registration is required.  Audiences are welcome to join or leave at any time.

The exhibition Disentangling Entanglement: In Memory of Intimacy, Vulnerability, and Action and related events are presented as the fourth season of the ICA's artistic research program Lightless Fires (2024–26), exploring fermentation as a figure and technique of collective memory, autonomous archiving, and writing history.
