About
Šumma ālu is a self-generative collective formed during the New Moon of January 2023 with the workshop on desidumanzia titled "If a city is situated on a height."
The collective pursues research by intertwining practices of decolonization of desire, intersectional self-awareness, generative somatics, and experimental pedagogy, employing a participatory approach that embraces and hybridizes various mediums such as video, performance, and installation.
The collective has an inclusive and polymorphic nature. It develops its concepts by embracing different project ideas without crystallizing into the repetition.
Driving us are the questions:
How do we transform the subject and the object into a verb?
How do we turn a collective into a self-generative movement rather than a static individual?
How do we overcome the issue of power in the hospitality relationship?
