PERFORMERS
Malin Arnedotter Bengtsson presents ‘Musslan’ a contemporary absurdist performance exploring themes of displacement, loneliness and belonging told from the perspective of a homesick mollusc – with a side-eye at how climate change is affecting the ecosystem on the Scandinavian coasts of Norway and Sweden.
Soprano-improvisers Milana Sarukhanyan & Valentina Diaz share their experience of bonding as two immigrant women who came to the UK in search of freedom of expressing their art. With themes of migration, assimilation and acclimatizing through a feminist audition.
Gilank provide atmospheric sonic scenery through improvised glitching, dramatic soundscapes and echo tonality. Its scratch – what unfolds is a symbiotic, esoteric response between the duo making each performance uniquely scored by the moment.
EXHIBITORS
Tallulah Lilburn-Quick
Sounds of Britain 1978 – 2008
2026
Tallulah Lilburn-Quick exhibits 30 years of archival material in ‘Sounds of Britain, 1978 and 2008’, a sonic documentary that allows us to position time as a point of reflection, analysing cultural shifts and repetition through the auricle of intentional listening
Ryoko Akama
Amity
2016
Ryoko Akama’s sound installation ‘Amity’ (2016) sculpts domestic appliances and scrap wastes with invisible energy, to create kinetic, incidental minimalist sounds that attune the ear and magnify silences.
Cat Scott
The Abyssal Glow
2018 / 2026
Cat Scott’s reworking of her fluid sculpture ‘The Abyssal Glow’ (2019/2026) sits on the border of the hyperreal and surreal as it invites us to contemplate placement, scale and the human experience through soundscape.
