⁣Contributing artist Danny Pagarani introduced the cohort to the practice of expanded map making and encouraged us to reflect on how Capitalism affects our perceptions of the art world, desire, identity, community and fantasy. We mapped out concepts of confusion, group dynamics, power, Ouroboros 🐉 and discussed the effects of scapegoating.⁣ ⁣

Through the mediums of writing and music we translated our maps into poems and soundscapes. Newly formed electronic band, The Nob Twiddler’s, debuted their 17min long track inspired by the spiralling feeling of confusion. 🌀💫🌀💫⁣ ⁣
