Djatá Bart-Plange will Summer Session with Sardegna Teatro, Italy
NDNMK Solutions (Djatá Bart-Plange (1993, Meijel, NL(NL-GH)) is founder, CEO, and staff) is a Rotterdam-based, artist-run company that specialises in ideology management and whiteness-related consultancy. We provide sound-focussed memetic mind castles that serve as spaces of reflection, confusion, digression, and possibly ascension.
Our projects are often narrative-driven and transdisciplinary – digital ecologies/structures where sound, short story, performance, image and point&click mutate/pollinate into exportable, likable, sharable, immersive pathworkings related to politics of knowledge, seductions of privilege, rituals of innocence, (new age) marketing strategies, etc.
