“Horned” is an audiovisual installation evoking the mystery and vitality of Horned figures intertwined in Earth’s consciousness. 

The installation calls in transformative space holding practices and activates embodied attention by utilizing ritual techniques to gently immerse participants in the imagination and presence of Horned consciousness. With poetry and music as a narrative guide, the audience is invited to shift into a somatic journey where one can nurture the wildness of their sovereign natures and reweave connectivity through the webs of belonging.

MaeDea ov Moon is a transdisciplinary artist based out of New Orleans {Bulbancha}. 

Within music, art, and movement, MaeDea’s trauma-informed work weaves queer visions and erotic embodiment into forms of personal, collective, and ecological healing.

Through collaboration with other musicians, visual artists, and dancers they have produced ten albums and infused their ritual performance practice into the musical and creative cultures of their communities.

Physical components:

Altar + Gate sculpture.

Materials used: lichen, herbs, stones, shells, branches, wool

Visual components: highlighting the breadth of nature and transition present within the installation.

Recorded from 2020 - 2022 during the artist’s residencies in Alentejo, Bhearra, Himare and Chimmacum Creek.
