And as we live in an increasingly digital world, where we are tethered to phones, desks and laptops, surrendering to the whims of water has never felt more powerful.

Our second Resident Prune Aisha Kuryana has had a 30-year long love affair with movement as a choreographer, dancer and teacher (GROOV3)—and remains deeply curious about exploring the connection between the body and the self.

A sense of belonging is the feeling of being accepted and part of a community. Although belonging is a personal, internal feeling, a sense of belonging is often anchored in physical spaces.

Created as part of a series of explorations as our first Resident Prune.

”In the pursuit of rest, I found fear. I never expected that creating a short film about rest would be so disquieting. This work is an attempt to articulate that struggle.”

A creative response to the Bathhouse by Resident Prune Noah daCosta on the theme of rest and belonging.

At Sense Of Self, we deeply value cultivating conversations between creativity, culture and community. Noah daCosta is a cross-disciplinary artist who champions these in his everyday: a cultural communicator, podcaster, video-maker, poet and professional ‘yapper’.

The last five years have seen a growing movement toward community—people from all walks of life coming together in search of belonging, connection, and happiness.
