Abstract
Rave of the Ritualesque was a week-long practice-based research workshop and public performance examining the political potential of rave culture as a form of collective expression and resistance. Developed with international design students in Pula, Croatia, the project combined fieldwork, listening activism, and participatory production methods to explore the relationship between sound, labour, and contemporary service economies. Drawing on the histories of industrial music and workers’ culture, participants produced sonic “social documents” through field recordings, sampling, and live audio-visual performance. The project culminated in a series of public performances and a collective event that reimagined rave as a space for social inquiry, critical reflection, and shared experience.
