To doomscroll, distract, or disconnect? In a world where crises and content collide, we find ourselves caught in a perpetual loop of scrolling—our screens a portal to both chaos and connection.

Welcome to Doomscroll Dialogues, a multidisciplinary fusion of visual art and music improvisation that reflects our personal journeys navigating this condition. Eljo Agenbach and Jet Kye Chong - a.k.a. Duo Mimicri - respond to prompts from real-world doomscrolling experiences, and to each other, through digital painting, percussion and electronics, sharing their way of unravelling this emotional rollercoaster that we all know too well in 2024.

This free event is presented as part of the Youth Week WA KickstART Festival, presented by Propel Youth Arts WA. KickstART is supported by the Government of Western Australia through the Department of Communities and the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries, and the City of Perth.

We acknowledge and respect their continuing connection to Country, culture, and community. We pay our respects to Elders past and present, and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across Australia.
