Gathering

From African priests to Korean shamans, there was and still is the belief that dance and music can open communication with intangible powers and produce effective benefits for the communities involved: self-knowledge; fuller understanding of the natural world; good health; and a sense of belonging to a supportive group in an often obscure but ultimately understandable universe. ‘Gathering’ is a photographic project that documents 5 illegal parties in London during the past summer.
