SUMMARY:TERMINAL BY RCA
DESCRIPTION:TERMINAL BY RCA – EXHIBITION\n\nTerminal is not where; it’s when. When flights were indefinitely delayed. When the desolated underground acted out dystopias\, devoid of passengers. When communities dispersed across the globe\, separated by miles and time Zones. When confinement. When it felt like the end — terminus from Latin. \nFor the neo-nomads\, lobby-room dwellers\, coffee-shop inhabitants — creatures of the transient who thrive on our positional instability — the global lockdown was paralysing in its impasse. What does transit mean after a year of standstill? When in confinement energy is a limited resource\, what can we afford to create? When art is deemed nonessential\, how can sacrifices and compromises inform new values in the work we take into the post-Covid world — what is essential? \nRCA Visual Communication 2021 graduates are pleased to introduce Terminal\, a concept-led final year show happening at the Ugly Duck from 27- 30 June 2021. \nFollowing the life and work of over 59 Visual Communicators\, Terminal showcases essential works produced during (and in response to) the unprecedented times. This show unpacks the student experience of spending over a year in a terminal-like space\, and still having made it a prolific time in critical thinking and making. Visitors are invited to join this speculative space spread across nine exhibition zones: Arrivals\, Customs\, Vestibule\, Bus Stop\, Declarations\, Waiting Room (Library)\, Round Table\, Control Room and Duty-Free. \nTerminal features live performances\, installations\, moving image\, sonic-work\, expanded publishing\, whilst also dialogic events such as workshops\, experimental seminars\, poetry sessions along with live broadcasts from Export-Radio. \n27th – 30th June 2021 ( Closed on 29th June )

SUMMARY:WINGS BY LEAH KIRBY
DESCRIPTION:WINGS BY LEAH KIRBY – RESIDENCY AND INDUSTRY SHARING\n\nOn 9th July 2021 WINGS (work in progress) will be presented at Ugly Duck\, following a two-week research and development period supported by Arts Council and The Chateau. A project that has built significant momentum despite being birthed mid-pandemic\, WINGS is essential viewing for anyone interested in queer representation and intersectionality. \nWINGS is a piece of new writing by Leah Kirby\, developed as part of Soho Writers Lab and supported by Ugly Duck and The Chateau. WINGS explores power\, race\, gender and history in the queer community via it’s cast of diverse characters and personalities who flit between it’s two locations: a progressive “Queer Space” and mainstream G.A.Y-esque Soho Bar. From the 28th June to the 9th July the WINGS team are conducting a period of research and development at Ugly Duck\, culminating in a private showing to the queer theatre community on the 9th. Due to covid\, this event is limited to invited guests\, but if you would like to register your interest in the project and receive updates from the team\, please email wingsplay2021@gmail.com with your name and a short expression of interest. \nThis story is told through ‘K’ (played by Michah Holmes) who is a young gay black man navigating a matriarchal chosen family with maternal figure ‘Zaza’ (played by Porscha Presents) and sibling ‘B’(played by Len Gwyn). K finds himself in search of a different environment and gets a job at WINGS run by ‘Paul’ (played by Amelia Stubberfield) and his ‘Staff’ (played by Tamir Amar Pettet) . \nIn its essence WINGS is a coming-of-age story that delves into what it means to be black in these spaces that historically (and still do) exclude many.  As a neuro-divergent\, trans\, non-binary\, Black person Leah Kirby stepped into the scene as CYRO their drag counterpart and found family\, career and community. In their activism they have seen\, experienced\, and heard stories of exclusion\, racism\, transphobia in the very places where we are meant to be able to breathe. \nThis is a love letter\, a statement\, a truth\, a mourning\, to all the queer spaces we find ourselves in and find ourselves shut out of. And hopefully a message to a new queer space built upon the trans people of colour who risked their lives so we could have it today.    \nCreative team: \nLeah Kirby (they/them)- Lead Artist\, Writer\, CO-Director – http://www.leahkirby.strikingly.com\nTilly Bungard (She/Her)- Producer – www.tillybungard.uk\nMolly Beth Morosa (she/they) – Director – http://www.mollybethmorossa.com\nMallin Parry (Mall) (they/them) – Design – https://emparry.com/about-mallin-parry/\nBecky Barry (she/her) – BSL Interpretation \n\nSupported by Arts Council England.

SUMMARY:NIYA B / EKDYSIS
DESCRIPTION:Niya B | Ekdysis   \nSingle-channel video \nIn Greek mythology\, the seer Tiresias was allegedly transformed into a woman for seven years for disturbing two copulating snakes on Mount Cyllene. Niya B re-reads this myth from an eco-transfeminist lens through ritual performances\, workshops and sonic explorations. The project is called ‘Ekdysis’ – the biological term referring to the process of shedding the external layer of the skin in reptiles. Counteracting the traditional\, patriarchal way of manufacturing history\, Niya B engages with her own autobiography to re-envision this metamorphosis as a transgender mythopoesis\, which is directly affected by ecology\, the feminine/Other and the non-human. \n‘Ekdysis’ is an ongoing project\, which is displayed through live actions\, moving image and installations. In this iteration\, Ekdysis manifests as a single-channel video following an autoethnographic journey in the land that holds the mythological events of metamorphosis. \n \nStill from video\, Performance on site\, Mount Cyllene\, Greece. (Filming by Betty Gkountani) \nProject credits: \nThis project has been made possible with support from Arts Council National Lottery Grants\, Ugly Duck\, ]performance s p a c e [\, x-church and Fringe! Queer Film & Arts Fest. \n \nBio \nNiya B is a transfeminist artist\, working at the intersections of visual art and performance exploring themes related to ecology\, (trans)gender politics and equity in mental health. Niya uses video\, soundscapes\, text and live acts to create a meditative space of vulnerability\, affect and interdependence. \n \nSelected shows include: \nFrom Tomorrow (Tate Britain\, London); WIP: Work in Progress/Working Process (online); Cultural Institute commission (Leeds); Futureless (Somos Art\, Berlin); Ekdysis\, solo (Enclave\, London); NEoN digital arts festival (Dundee); Unfix (CCA\, Glasgow); Eco-futures festival\, Disorders\, Translucent\, Queer Artists Now\, Fringe!\, @disturbance (London); Emergency (Manchester); Trans:plant\, solo (London)\, International Print Biennale (Newcastle); 5th Moscow Biennale; 5th Thessaloniki Biennale. \nNiya was awarded with an a-n bursary and a Jerwood bursary in 2020. Ekdysis installation will feature in the publication Future Now (Aesthetica 2021). \n#ekdysis
