Artists in residence at MENTAL
In 2020 when COVID hit, we found ourselves homeless, with all our planned events and  international tour cancelled. 
We wound up in the Southern Highlands of NSW where we became involved with MENATL in Bowral. Director Sergei Netchaef invited us to take up residency.
Since Sept 2020 we have worked on a series of musical projects,  performances, presenting exhibitions of our recent work and collaborating with local artists.
