@Disturbance #4 ( 10 - 12th Nov )

Ugly Duck revitalises underused space. We find empty and underused spaces and open them up for a range of creative uses. We run projects which animate and connect people to public spaces.We believe that space – especially in overcrowded cities like London – should never be left empty. We take vacant and disused buildings and bring them back into creative use; reflecting communities and histories, investigating social issues through arts and enterprise.

Ugly Duck Spaces

On 10th & 12th Nov @Disturbance comes back with LGBTQI+ exciting projects that blends queer performances with video art

Ugly Duck

Ugly Duck Bermondsey is excited to announce the return of @Disturbance this November. A flagship programme championing LGBTQIA+ performance, video and digital artists, @Disturbance hosts a week-long residency culminating in two nights of public performances on November 10 &amp; 11 &amp; 12. A simultaneous high-quality livestream enables those outside London and unable to travel to experience @Disturbance in full effect. It is key for Ugly Duck to encourage accessibility and support radical, diverse, queer artists. @Disturbance is set to be as brave and breathtaking as previous programmes, all of which have sold out and featured artists from all over the world. @Disturbance 2022 artists include:Gisou Golshani, originally from Iran but London-based, will create a multi-sensory, immersive performance and installation via their take on ritualistic movement, visuals and sound. For filmmaker and multidisciplinary artist Joy Yaa Kincaid, the truth of hypocrisy, randomity and beautiful messiness takes centre within their work. They view themselves when art making as a mirror reflecting multiplicities to gender, humanity, and the absurdity of whiteness.River Cao revisits the marginalised queer experience of growing up in small-town southern China. Now London-based, River will create a series of self-narrative spaces at @Disturbance in their performance I found a dead bird, to rethink emotions of grief. River has previously presented work internationally and in London at the Saatchi Gallery and the ICA. Singapore-based interdisciplinary artist Khairullah Rahim presents the UK debut of their short art film Buah Dahsyat (Fantastic Fruits). His practice explores strategies of resourcefulness for survival in environments under surveillance. Khairullah’s work has been shown all over the world and in the UK, at the Barbican. Noam Youngrak Son’s video piece Yummy Body Truck, about a fictional food truck selling edible human body parts, introduces Noam’s work to the UK for the first time. Based in Ghent, Noam has previously shown work with the Queer Institute of Ecology in Amsterdam. Olivia Morrison is a queer disabled video artist. New work Hug Me Properly follows the lives of a young, queer community on a night out. They discuss how loved ones and lives during the pandemic have changed and how their community is more important than ever. Video artist Sandrine Schaefer frequently presents performance art installations using repetition, duration and multisensory elements. @Disturbance will show a new performance specifically made for camera titled Simple Relations No. 4. Orlando Myxx is an Italian-born, London-based artist whose practice encompasses photography, ﬁlm-making and performance. At @Disturbance they will screen The Plastic Drag, a visual and sound work that investigates how a new wave of underrepresented gender-non-conforming and diverse drag artists are redefining the art of drag and its subversive potential. Sophie Hoyle’s video art explores post-colonial, queer, feminist, critical psychiatry and disability. They will be showing Hyperacusis at @Disturbance: Two films about mental health, trauma, gender and sexuality, access to healthcare and transcultural psychiatry. Ukrainian artist Yana Bachynska works with film, sculpture, performance and art in public spaces. For @Disturbance their film Tovarystvo sekta tells a story of an unconventional group of friends who live in a common space. They experience daily audio hallucinations, which are messages from a future where a queer utopia has come.Talia Beale’s practice, which includes film, music and more, dissects the process of society’s inner dichotomy through the lens of a queer woman of colour navigating her twenties, existing in spaces such as Central Saint Martins when their home is a block of flats in Tottenham. For @Disturbance, Talia presents To Trudge in Zundon exploring how film making could subvert ideas about housing estates and address new voices, specifically creative, queer kids who live in blocks of flats.Accessibility InfoUgly Duck&#x27;s ground floors HUB AND GARAGE are both fully accessible. The access route for wheelchair users is via the car park into the Garage. We have one fully accessible toilet. All toilets are gender neutral.
