Instrument Makers Lab Presentations
Participants presents what they have worked on throughout the two weeks at Instrument Maker Labs
The Instrument Makers Lab returns for its second edition with a clear and urgent question at its core: who gets to make music, and under what conditions? In 2026, the Lab turns its focus to accessibility, treating it not as a technical fix but as a creative position, one that reshapes how instruments are imagined, built, and played.
Set across two weeks (16th - 27th February) within the wider Kilele Symposium, the Lab operates as a concentrated space for shared learning and experimentation. It brings together artists, musicians, and creative technologists to explore new ways of producing sound through dialogue, demonstration, and hands-on making. The emphasis is on confidence as much as competence, on giving participants the tools to trust their instincts while working across unfamiliar systems.
