Moonmedicin

Moonmedicin is a performance art sound system–a living, breathing, ever-evolving art installation that’s different each time you experience it. 

Through a continuous series of salons, workshops, interventions, and respite research residencies, the group has challenged the landscape of music venues, galleries, museums, and university campuses with provocative experiences since 2007. 

Playing original compositions interspersed with re-imagined covers, the collective performs against a back drop of curated sound effects and images of sci-fi, punk, sacred geometry, coded symbology, film noir, minstrels, world politics, and ceremonial dance. 

Renowned visual artist Sanford Biggers is the creative director, joined by a rotating cast of musicians, designers, and performance artists. This super-group of power-house creatives meet to spintales from our Earth's past, present, and future, weaving symbolism allegory into an audio visual quilt. Moonmedicin is Sanford Biggers, Jahi Sundance, Martian Luther, Doc Lectronega, Meshell Ndegleocello, Andre Cymone, Terence Nance, Imani Uzuri, Sumie Kaneko, Rich Medina, Keyon Harrold, Charlotte Braithwaite, Timeboy, Black Thought, Vikter Duplaix, Saul Williams, Esthero, Shae Fiol, Andrew Palermo, Terry Adkins, Fab 5 Freddy, Max Roach

This is the Percent-for-Art dedication event for one of the latest additions to MIT's public art collection, Sanford Biggers, Madrigal, 2024 which is sited at the entry of MIT's Edward and Joyce Linde Music Building.
