REBEL BODIES is a new collaborative work by multidisciplinary artists KM Taavitsainen (FIN), Anna Thompson (US) and Taylor Knight (US) / of slowdanger.  This multidisciplinary and international collaboration centers an eco-somatic sound approach through the processing of field recordings from Pirunvaara (FIN) and later Allegheny National Forest (US). Their embodied sound practices activate interspecies and environmental empathy through a queer world building process enmeshing movement, projection, sound and material research. In awareness of our current environmental crises, REBEL BODIES engages radical imagination as a portal to witnessing how our bodies, environment, and communal interactions are inextricably intertwined.

​

The project is set to premie in 2026 at the Ärjä Festival in Kajanni, Finland, facilitated by Vaara-kollektiivi. 

 

​REBEL BODIES is supported by the Kone Foundation, SKR Kainuu Fund, Vaara collective & Routa Company. Special thanks to KORPIQUEER collective & inter- gallery (Pittsburgh US)
