The Daily Rhythms Collective
The Daily Rhythms Collective works across disciplines, cultures and territories; performing, exhibiting, publishing, debating and raising voices of co-existence that are aligned with decolonial feminisms, and engaged with regenerative cultures.
About Us
In 2021, the Daily Rhythms Collective constituted a new artistic formation to focus on Ancestral-Futuristic and Spiritual Aesthetics as an emancipatory form of healing – from the colonial wounds and relationships shaped by patterns of domination and exploitation.
Belonging
Rootedness
Rootlessness
The current members are dedicated to researching their personal biographies and journeys through associative thinking and entangled stories, which are translated into a collaborative artistic practice – towards wider forms and temporalities of belonging, between rootedness and rootlessness.
Through this, we embrace post-activism, i.e. we engage with the painful process of becoming aware of our own responsibilities/ how we are implicated in the current social and ecological crisis – at all levels, while moving out of the anthropocene. Humans are not the drivers of change.
How to flow and become – sympoetically and with the trouble?
