MOKI CHERRY
OND is a non-profit cultural organization dedicated to preserving and sharing the work of Don and Moki Cherry and maintaining the Tågarp Schoolhouse as an artistic and educational environment, while still being a family residence.
OND aims to make the archive and collections of Moki and Don Cherry accessible for invited artists and researchers or in partnership with international arts and music initiatives or institutions. It continues the traditions of creativity, pedagogy and collaboration of the ‘Tågarp Kulturförening’, a cultural association that operated at the schoolhouse during the 1970s and 80s.
The organization fulfills its purpose through projects and programming such as exhibitions, workshops, residencies by invitation, research, archiving and publications, and is run by the Cherry family.
