COMMON HOST: gathering the parasitic (un)natural
A weekend gathering marking the end of my project (para)site: a sea-change. Working with strange archetypes and inviting in odd beings, the gathering explores practices such as mumming, situating these ancient folk customs in new relation to the post-industrial landscapes of London and Essex .
Drawing in members of my artistic community, the programme involves performances, conversation, a workshop and an exhibition. I will show a new short film, made in collaboration with Baiba Sprance and Marco Berardi. zack will facilitate contaminated materials, a workshop exploring performing our difficult histories.
