DOOM MOOD COLLECTIVE
A POROUS COLLECTIVE OF ARTISTS & RESEARCHERS FROM RURAL & URBAN AREAS, WORKING ACROSS TRADITIONAL & EXPERIMENTAL
MUSIC & DANCE
In 2023, DOOM MOOD extended it’s form, becoming a porous collective bringing together artists and researchers from rural and urban areas, working across traditional and experimental music and dance.
DOOM MOOD organizes residencies, workshops, performative formats, discussions, and community events, often in collaboration with local partners across institutional and bottom-up contexts. We host spaces of collective learning, release and emotional expression, bringing together people of different backgrounds and generations around dance and music practices. Our ongoing aim is to support intercultural exchange between peripheral regions, building bridges between artists, researchers, elders, and communities whose knowledge and practices are at risk of disappearing.
We are inspired by cosmologic visions in which “our eyes are ears” (following i.a. Emanuele Coccia’s “metaphysics of mixture” thought through in collaboration with plants), implying the shift of attention from objects and boundaries to fluxes and interdependency, from vision to listening - across somatic, social and political realms.
