Additionally\, the experience delves into the poignant struggles of migrants and marginalized individuals\, shedding light on the grief and displacement that precede the marking of their journeys. \nAbout the artist\nBotswana-born Award-Winning Artist\, Katlego K Kolanyane-Kesupile\, embarks on “Spring Immersion” residency at Ugly Duck\nDuring her residency\, Botswana-born interdisciplinary artist\, Katlego K Kolanyane-Kesupile\, embarks on a transformative exploration of decoloniality through a multi-disciplinary artistic lens.

SUMMARY:My Blood Is My Voice
DESCRIPTION:MY BLOOD IS MY VOICE\nExplore a multisensory world built around the power of the collective human voice and how its ancestry shapes our connection to life beyond human binaries through the queer & neuroqueer lens. \n  \nyour voice is a luminary guide to well trodden paths\nof fractured facets in knowing\nfar beyond the time of flesh.\nyou have within you an infinite ability to hear\nfar beyond the body’s cochlea \nhow you choose to listen\,\nwhat you choose to break silence with\,\nholds the capacity to tear down and build worlds \nworlds we might want to share\ndo not abandon this power\n\n\n\nThrough both improvised and composed vocal performance alongside digital visual and sculptural installation\, My Blood Is My Voice invites audiences through a portal of landscapes in collective sound to explore possible futures of co-created world building when deep listening centres the experience of sharing space. After a year-long residency with Ugly Duck to develop their embodied voice work alongside building community through holding vocal & noise healing workshops\, this performance seeks to showcase queer & neuro-queer futurism & the power of collective voice by inviting other voices to participate with sound if called to join. \n\nTicket Pricing\nWe have three tiers of ticket price in order to create an accessible framework for all to attend whilst still allowing the artists to be paid for their work.\nIf you are able to purchase a higher price ticket- you will be allowing someone on a lower income to attend. If the ticket pricing is a barrier at all for anyone\, please get in touch.\n\n\n\n\n\nSchedule\nDoors open 7pm\nPerformance begins 730pm with a running time of approx 60 mins.\nThis performance contains immersive elements which invites the audience to be free in exploring the space or to experience the work in stillness.\n  \n  \nThe Project:\nMy Blood Is My Voice is a ritual gig theatre & vocal healing project in co-creation; exploring the queer & neuroqueer experience through ways of working with the human body as a complete instrument. Artists working on the 2024 showcase include Winter Geamhradhr\, Porscha Present\, Reyhan Yusuf\, Tobi Adebajo\, Yuki Nakayama (sound design) & Harshini Karunaratne (digital visual art) We look to work in non-hierarchical modes of writing. Devising & composing music collectively & collaboratively through shared lived experience & magical practice; we seek to deconstructing the gender binary of how the human voice should sound. \nWe create vocal ‘noisescapes’ collectively to explore questions: \nHow do we access embodied listening? \nWhat binds and separates our voice to identity? \nWhat permits us to speak to our ancestry? \nHow do we build trust and step into our collective form?

SUMMARY:shedding:::selves - Queer East 2024 Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:shedding:::selves – Queer East 2024 Exhibition \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVisitor Information \nExhibition Opening Night\nFriday\, 19 April\, 18:00 – 21:00\nThe opening night event will feature a one-night-only live performance by LI YILEI. \nThe exhibition opens daily from 20-28 April\, from 12:00 to 17:00 \nAbout \nDiverging from normative ideals and modes of being\, shedding:::selves brings together eight artists whose works generate new readings\, metamorphoses\, and entanglements of personhood. This landmark exhibition of queer East and Southeast Asian artists spans sculpture\, painting\, diagram\, interactive installation\, and video in its forging of selves that transcend the limitations of identity labels and categorisation. Instead\, new linkages are drawn between technology\, science\, mythology\, the post-human\, performativity\, and memory\, encouraging us to reflect upon our own spectrums of experience. \nCurators \nAki Hassan and April Lin 林森 \nAssistant Curator \nJialin Hong \nArtist Line-up \nWeixin Chong \nYifan He \nMegumi Ohata \nKianuë Tran Kieu \nSayang  \nNatyada Tawonsri \nNoam Youngrak Son \nXinyu XuXX \nWebpage Link: https://queereast.org.uk/film/shedding-selves/
