KARMA
CAUSE AND EFFECT
Museo de Manta, Ecuador
Opening: 26 November 2026
MUSLAB KARMA 2026
The KARMA exhibition brings together works of sound art, video, image, and installation around the relation between causes and effects.
It attends to actions, conditions, and the visible consequences in the world we live in, and to the way that chain of events becomes the material of the work.
KARMA is the 2026 curatorial project of the MUSLAB International Electroacoustic Music Exhibition. The axis is an artistic reflection on action and consequence. It is not a moral or religious reading.
The venue is the Museo de Manta. The exhibition opens on 26 November 2026. Guest activities run from 26 November to 1 December 2026. Installation in the galleries is from 16 to 25 November 2026. OFF MUSLAB is planned for 21 November 2026, one day, at Playa Murciélago.
The programs are didactic and intended for the general public. Participants may explain their ideas through their works, and the audience may ask questions at the end of each activity.
The international call for this edition is closed. Sound installations for the museum are a separate line, for artists from Ecuador. The program booklet brings together the works in this edition.
