The Nine Herbs Charm by Maya Land & Zinzi Buchanan

"I dreamed of the three milks. Three golden herbs came to me to be sung to. The plants St. John’s Wort, Greater Celandine and Calendula all have properties that range from tonic to toxic and relate to the blood, bile, lymph and nervous system. "

Three Milks by Maya Land

A radio piece by hooops garden for the group exhibition „From the shore to the mud pool“ (curated by SPIT COLLECTIVE)

Walking on paths of desire in sonic landscapes, cruising on the more-than-human shores. Playfulness and joy. Bodies of resonance, algae, moss, bacteria, water dripping. A practice of sonic cruising, more-than-human listening, building sonic companionships, bodies as receptors and receivers. Sinking into sand, mud, salt, wind. The erotic ecologies, carnal plants and bodies. The eros in wandering unknown paths, low bushes, the niche of industrial ruins. We all meet in the mud pools to explore bodies of water, bodies of sand, we hear each other breathing and moaning. We listen, we make sounds, we imagine sounds of joy. This is an acoustic shelter, this is a time and place of queer desire.
