A creative series of musical compositions that express upon the natural and social environments surrounding Indigenous culture and their contemporaries. Through collaborations with Indigenous artists, sound designers, and music producers we hope to encourage a diffusion between cultures through creative research and mutual respect.
The natural world is deeply intertwined in the material and immaterial dimensions. This portal is a celebration of the implicit relationship between art, plants, and spirituality—a sensorial tribute to the Indigenous wisdom that sees nature as a living entity imbued with sacred meaning.
We believe in long term relationship building with individuals and their communities who have consented to sharing their knowledge with us and the public. As multi-generational migrants, locals and foreigners, we seek to nurture a mutual understanding of the realities, ancestral and present, with our Indigenous collaborators through our practice in order to create didactic audio, visual and written representations of their ancestral knowledge for the benefit of the Indigenous people. Below is an open work of this documentation.
