About this Event
About the Show:
Warehouses in the Sky (Lily Flashman, Wong Kwang Lin, Redwan Hamzah & Nahid Ansari)
Interspersed along the M1 motorway are a series of distribution centres with identical gradients of blue cladding that crudely camouflage them against the sky. The forthcoming short film Warehouses in the Sky takes a close-up view of these complexes to reflect on their deliberate disappearance. An adaptation of the short film will meet a live, improvised score of experimental movement and sound.
Remains (Nahid Ansari & Nicko Mroczkowski)
even for us ‘no-bodies’
the body still remains
continues to fail
gets pathologised
About the Artists:
Lily Flashman and Wong Kwang Lin form the Affordances collective focusing on creative urban practice, working through sonic and visual methods. They aim to produce works of beauty that reframe and unsettle urban realities, bringing together lived experiences and research informed by design, anthropology and queer feminist approaches.
Nahid Ansari is a Berlin-based interdisciplinary artist blending contemporary dance and performance art practices. Their choreographic work is heavily shaped by textuality and theory, while foregrounding the body as a site of knowledge and transformation. She researches ideas around embodied resistance and reflects upon the political aesthetics of the dancing body.
Nicko Mroczkowski is a musician and researcher in decolonial and anti-capitalist social theories. He pursues the use of musical improvisation as an act of resistance.
Redwan Hamzah is an interdisciplinary artist, composer, and singer-songwriter working with sound, performance, and technology to explore how vibrations shape our sense of time, place, and connection. Through installations, live performance, and composition, he weaves improvisation, design, and movement into fluid, resonant forms.
