Rest & Digest Corner
BRING YOUR PLATE (GATHERINGS)28–30 June, Friday-Sunday
12.00-10.00 PM daily
Rehearsal Studio
Alongside the deep and persistent work of care, we need to insist on spaces of joy and pleasure. Whether you are looking for a temporary layover between programmes or a space to decompress from work and life, the Rest & Digest Corner will be open to arts workers and all throughout the festival. There will also be a space to leave brief thoughts and to respond to other people’s reflections over the three days. (:
ABOUT THE ARTS WORKERSBoth Port of Reciprocity and Rumah Rimau Dapor were conceived as spaces of communal gatherings, offerings and collective listening, where rest, unfurling, shapeshifting and renewal are held. We hold space for gathering in ease, for dreaming, for the tenderness existing in the things that comfort, burden, bewilder or fascinate us. We welcome the restlessness between solitude, companionship and the deep presence that emerges when safety is created in the spaces and interconnected kinships-ecologies we safeguard and choose to return to.
RUMAH RIMAU DAPOR
Rumah Rimau Dapor (Zarina Muhammad) is a peculiar habitat and shelter that invites and welcomes delight, softness, ferocity, and the quiet pauses and spaces of multispecies cohabitation. Zarina Muhammad (she/her) is an artist, educator and researcher whose practice is deeply entwined with a critical re-examination of oral histories, ethnographic literature and other historiographic accounts about Southeast Asia.
