"NOT TO BE SENSELESS 6"

Not to be Senseless is a playground for the senses, focused on and from the neurodivergent experience, and where concepts connect to consciousness about diverse needs.

‘Not to be Senseless’ is a stage for neurodivergent art with people and pieces that experience and explore neurodivergencies such as synaesthesia, savantism and autism. This accessible event opens up new perspectives by recognising differences in how we sense the world. Organized by iii in collaboration with Journey Through the Senses and Rewire. Curated by Maria Oosterveen.

Mattia Papp

Mattia Papp is a sound-color and taste-image synesthete who connects food and image, drawing aesthetic inspiration from the Renaissance and Baroque periods.

During the panel talk: Staging Sound panel discussion/listening session, he will be talking about sound in relation to his multi-sensorial artistic practice

Mattia Papp’s practice is deeply rooted in Renaissance and Baroque aesthetics. With a focus on the theatrical and storytelling, he moves across painting, ceramics, performance, scenography, and installation. Since 2019 food has become central to his practice through a series of performances called Edible Landscapes, where meals become sculptural rituals.

Skin Hunger

Skin Hunger merges dance, poetry and sound into a tender exploration of sensory perception when vision is removed. This immersive interdisciplinary performance is directed by Mireia Varón Gallofré, in collaboration with Puck Füsers and Myra-Ida van der Veen. With accessibility as the priority of this work, it is open to all.
By the Curator – Maria Oosterveen :

Not to be Senseless was a bliss to organize and work together with Rewire Festival. And what an edition it was. Wildeman was truly an audience puller. And this both in the literal and figurative sense. We had to decline audience as the venue reached max capacity during his performances, Hubner was an amazing and engaging lecturer who really got people’s attention and had them participate in a very lively discussion on the (lack of) acceptance of neurodiversity in all levels of society. A discussion I had to bring to a halt as we were exceeding the time I had booked for her.
 

Having had such a great experience this year I can’t wait to curate next year’s collaboration with Rewire and iii.
