Mountain Meditations for Responsible Imagination
Mountain Meditations for Responsible Imagination is an attempt at expanding time and space through the potential of matter and imagination. Proposing the mountain as the protagonist and ultimate body of matter, the work explores different material and ecological principles as forms of relation and ways of knowing, claiming the right and responsibility of imagination, with matter and materiality as situational agents and generators of fiction.

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.
