“Since Covid, connecting with people; getting into a room with them and collectively making somethingtogether has been really important for us. It's also a joy. These different works have offered bothourselves and, we hope, everybody involved new ways toexplore what happens when we search for acollective way of making art and music.” John McIlduff (Dumbworld)
