Inspired by a quote from Bladerunner (1982), “And the rain witnessed…” speaks of the intersections of time, place, personal histories and even mood in contemporary imagination.
The act of witnessing is oftentimes unspoken, and yet in the year-long research praxis of these artists, these very acts or observation processes are instrumental for them to position themselves in their quest for balance, reflexivity and fictive elements.
The title also signals the undercurrents of hopepunk as a way to embrace the gentleness and the counterpoint to the uncertainty and dystopic situations that we are currently facing.
