Deeper: Weedweavers \\ New Emergences

In this edition of Deeper, radical Dutch collective New Emergences discussed their work amplifying voices underrepresented within digital media culture, electronic music and sound art. Curators Semay Wu and Mariette Groot (New Emergences) spoke with Angeliki Diakrousi and mariëlle verdijk about their individual practices and coming together to reflect on shared storytelling and mythology as ways of organising to offer different perspectives on sea and ports.

The New Emergences Foundation is a Netherlands based platform for amplifying voices underrepresented within digital media culture, electronic music, and sound art. They work towards the acknowledgement, presence and inclusion of women, LGBTQIA+, disabled communities, and people of all other ethnic groups combined.
