S.C.U.M. (Santa Cruz Underground Music) is the revival of an old anagram to rekindle a collectivized effort towards performance and skill-share across various experimental art spaces and mediums. We have organized, curated, and been affiliated with more than 40 events over the last year, including multi-disciplenary performances, workshops, screenings, and site specific programming. We collaborate with entities such as Indexical, SubRosa Community Space at The Hub, Free Skool, UCSC Music Department, Minnow Arts, Outhouse SF, among others. “SCUMsessions” is a series of hybrid study groups and workshops that aim to facilitate a collaborative space for the exploration of sound studies and beyond. We foster an environment centered around safety, care, and involvement, where everyone that intersects with our mission, regardless of their background or identity, has the opportunity to participate, create, and build community in the arts.
