The aim of Aii and Ikbal’s residency has been the exploration of DIY practices, both on a musical and organisational level.
In the first part of the presentation, the artists will report on encounters with various DIY organisations in Brussels, with whom they exchanged views on organisational structures, consumption patterns, environmental issues and much more, and which they were able to compare with their experiences in their home country of Indonesia and their own organisation Ethnictro.
This research was complemented by working with a group of Manama students from the Ghent Conservatory. An Indonesian practice of interpreting dreams using numbers in a “dream dictionary” was used to activate the musical creativity, and to “archive” the dreams by means of recording. These instant compositions will be performed live during the second part of the presentation by Rodrigo Evangelista, Helena Ruiz Sanchez, Inaki Marcos Buena, Hui Chi Li, Edoardo Parente, Julen Latorre Urbaneta and Liese Lotte Bekaert.
Event in the framework of tekhnē, funded by the European Union.
