October 13 (Sun.) 2024 "Let's hunt in African forests!"

Deep in the forests of Africa, there live a people called Baka who hunt animals and share them with others, sing polyphony songs, dance, and communicate with spirits. Those who want to experience the Baka forest, come and join us!

December 8 (Sun.) 2024 "Let's transform with Balinese masks!"

Bali is an island where masks appear for ritual, theater, play, and many other occasions.
