In a climate of rising censorship, board overreach, anti-Palestinian and Islamophobic racism, and in a general climate of suspicion towards art, what alternative spaces are required to maintain the cultures we want to participate in? The Organise session of the Night School invites hearing from artists and cultural workers listening across disciplines. It aims to gently offer an inspiring sense of sovereignty, a chance to eat together and think about the role of cultural spaces in creating contexts for sharing truth and practicing freedom. Ft: (6:30pm) Yoe & Gabby Loo: The teashop from Burma, a community cultural space (7:30pm) Feras […]

Part of the Audible Edge Night School workshop series. Rioting against ways of teaching art and music which put brain over body, we invite you to partake in a day of collective embodied play for makers of all kinds. This features workshops from three local practitioners sharing how their body remains a grounded point of connection to their practice, and their well-being as artists. While ‘gym’ can be a scary word (and place) for many of us, we’re hoping to build our own positive associations with the word, creating a space to tune into our bodies without the internal and […]
