MUD is an arts and culture collective supporting trans-disciplinary communities of artistic practice across conventional and unconventional domains.
Hosting monthly performance events that explore extended notions of music, arts, dance and multimedia at Ancient World, Adelaide. This is realised through unique guest curation each month, where we support curators materially and financially to devise and deliver individual and/or group performances.

Broader vision

MUD is an evolving collective that exists to aid cultural and ecological systems through experimental, regenerative and empowering projects. We acknowledge the processes and products of our work as an emergent feature of our socio-ecological reality and continually collaborate with individuals and communities of artistic and ecological practice.

MUD seeks to privilege the soft earth, the fragile stuff, messy and interwoven stuff and to delight in them.
Through our care, be admitted to delightful trouble.

“We need languages of both science and poetry to save us from merely stockpiling endless information...”
- Ursula K. Le Guin

This month we welcome Aidan J Jones as guest curator.

Aidan is multi-intrumentalist who’s been bouncing around in different pockets of Adelaide’s music-making communities for years and years in bands like Slowmango, Runebilly Rattle, Dr. Piffle and the Burlap Band, as well as exploring the realm of solo artistry and experimenting along the way.

For MUD, Aidan’s been talking about improvising with tape-loops, violin (Tom Spall) and cello (Kiki). More info to come.

7pm - Artist discussion with Aidan J Jones
7:30pm - 2 sets from Aidan + friends
