Breathing new life and love into Mezrab’s lockers with some of earth’s original storytellers, not one singing the same song. 

Songs Unlocked

From the lockers at House of Stories, Mezrab 

Each locker column is marked with a locally or internationally foraged, natural material. Their songs have been heard, overheard or eavesdropped on, some contributed by our friends and thus made a unique journey to get here. We had many unexpected as much as expected drips of ink, as is the fun of playing upright.
