INFINITY RUG proposes to create a platform where sound, collective learning and intimate care come together to forge a space of togetherness within queer, trans and BIPOC communities during the period of the pandemic. The rug invites us to take off our shoes and enter a domestic, familiar and intimate space. The rugs, provided or brought by the participants, delimitate a space that suggests the comfort and intimacy of home, a place for resting, loving, grieving, playing, meditating, sleeping. Their portability allows us to bring the domestic space into the public and to weave them with other rugs, creating a wider surface, an intertwined network of safety pods that can accommodate sanitary and hygienic demands while still forging hypothetically infinite connections with our rugs. Closeness across distance. Domesticity in public.

The series Infinity Rug was initiated during the quarantine in the form of small home listening gatherings, weaving various elements of ambient and deep mind music, spoken word, field recordings, ASMR, somatic and sonic healing, textiles and textures, scents, performance and moving image. For each event, invited artists are challenged to use various elements to orchestrate a regenerative environment for all those participating.

NOTE
If you are planning to host a listening pod make sure the rugs are clean and have at least a 1.5m radius to accommodate one or two persons, or bigger if accommodating larger groups of the same household. Ventilate the space regularly.
