Spring/Summer 2021 Priya will be undertook studio based research as part of a Percolate Programme Award. Mistry invited Florence Peake & Harold Offeh as co-collaborates. What they explored:
A congregation of people, space, proximity, collectively moving, gesturing, vocalising, synchronising to beats, patterns and experiencing euphoria incited by the body’s own chemicals or supplemented ones (drugs/herbs).
Rave or a Shamanic/ religious ritual?
Why, In this long enduring season of Pandemic stasis have people congregated in explosions of Raves? Not in public ‘protest’ against governance but ‘for fun’.
Are we spiling over in a tsunami of grief and a deep rooted programming for change?
