Mountain Meditations for Responsible Imagination
Imagine you are a mountain.
Feel your movement.
Your stillness.
Your weight.
mountain meditations for responsible imagination is an ongoing, multilayered exploration of materiality, imagination, and other forms of knowing. Proposing the mountain as protagonist and ultimate body of matter, the work twists, expands, surrenders, collapses, and transforms time and space, exploring material and ecological principles as forms of relation and ways of knowing. Materiality acts as situational agent and generator of fiction, and imagination is enacted as both a right and responsibility.

Bio Dakota Comín
Dakota Comín is dance based artist and choreographer originally from Spain. Her artistic practice explores materiality and fiction as active agents to create contexts and other forms of knowing through choreographic processes. Grounded in a sensuous and physical approach, her practice extends beyond the body, into textile-based processes, installative settings and writing, establishing cross-material dialogues and collaborative methodologies. Influenced by new materialism, feminist decolonial theory and social-anthropology studies, she engages questions related to material agency, otherness, and collective responsibility.
She supports interdependence and proposes imagination as both a right and an ethical practice. She has presented solo and group works in PAF Berlin, Tanzzentrale Nürnberg, Sala Inestable Valencia and CCCC Valencia, Cuerpo Romo Madrid or Lake Studios Berlin among others. She is also part of the Berlin based collective WILD LISTENING.
