About this Event
Enter Vox Populi, relax into soundscape, take in performance, and let bundles of mugwort in the room facilitate your visualization of geological futures. Eons from now, the monumental disaster-producing military office complex we once created will fall apart and disintegrate back into the earth.
Originally a solo work, this rendition of asmr4apocalypse shares new choreographic research cultivated in classes and workshops led by zavé martohardjono this Spring in Philadelphia thanks to the support of the Center for Experimental Ethnography at the Penn Museum and Leah Stein Dance Studios.
About the Artists
Lead artist: uses dance, ritual, and multimedia to make works that engage decolonized memory, explore ecological and somatic realities, and dream of more just futures. They are a 2025 UPenn Center for Experimental Ethnography fellow, 2024 NEW INC member, and recipient of a 2023-25 Mertz Gilmore Foundation Dancer Award.
Sound installation & design: Mike Clemow is trans-disciplinary artist working with traditional and digital media with a strong focus on field recording as a practice and improvisation as creative strategy. They use sound, text, images, and found objects, generative and chaotic systems, to create performances, installations, and objects as “improvised sites.”
Music: Daphne Silbiger is a playwright, dramaturg, and musician who collaborates with the bands Go Home & MOTHERCAT, releases music as sa_phne, and makes collage.
