RawGround 2024

The world has been sustained by one mechanism; that which moves our city, our body, our thoughts and existence – Breathing. RawGround 2024 is a ten-day event of curated film screenings, artist talks and workshops connected by the theme: Breathing – the movement of space. The first three days feature activities that are held on site, while the rest of RawGround will be made available for digital engagement for one week. With twelve short films by six local and international artists of diverse disciplines, the event will discuss their works in a series of public talks and multi-disciplinary workshops, cultivating a space for creative discourse for the wider audience.

The event takes form with each artist exploring the various spaces in our lives that are shaped by breath; how does the cityscape ‘suffocate’ us in this fast-paced society? How do we navigate such evolving landscapes and still hold on to our identity? What do our bodies remember and how do our senses guide and connect us? What beauty in life can we find in our last breath? These are some of the themes investigated in the twelve films.
