Echo-pella: Songs to start a revolution to

Welcome to our brand new installation―Echo-pella, a special segment specially dedicated to songs. Listening to music is almost intrinsic and has become an essential characteristic to humans. In honour of our theme of the month, music is not only a form of artistic, creative and aesthetic expression, but it also has an immense revolutionary quality. Throughout history, this has been expressed in songs which represent a desire for change. From protesting and condemning unjust situations in our socio-political reality, to capturing revolutionary movements and raising hope for a better future. This expands music into a canvas encompassing the expression of our human experience and journey. Music is an entire language on its own which has had a significant cultural and political impact on real-life events all around the world; bringing positive change at historic moments. It also has the ability to unite and connect people from different walks of life and may even have the power to change the world.

As we step out of the season of Aquarius, let us dive into the dreamy, mystical, and otherworldly season of Pisces (February 19 – March 20). The Piscean’s symbol of two fishes swimming in opposite directions reflects the constant duality and division of their inner struggle between fantasy and reality. As the twelfth and final constellation in the zodiac, it is an amalgamation of the many characteristics of the prior eleven signs and the lessons they have learned. Hence, this is what makes these fishes so empathetic and compassionate compared to other creatures in the astrological cycle.
