Moonmedicin is a performance art sound system–a living, breathing, ever-evolving art installation that’s different each time you experience it.Through a continuous series of salons, workshops, interventions, and respite research residencies, the group has challenged the landscape of music venues, galleries, museums, and university campuses with provocative experiences since 2007.Playing original compositions interspersed with re-imagined covers, the collective performs against a back drop of curated sound effects and images of sci-fi, punk, sacred geometry, coded symbology, film noir, minstrels, world politics, and ceremonial dance.Renowned visual artist Sanford Biggers is the creative director, joined by a rotating cast of musicians, designers, and performance artists. This super-group of power-house creatives meet to spintales from our Earth's past, present, and future, weaving symbolism allegory into an audio visual quilt.
