Georgia Somerville x Ethereal Maison
Curated by Yaiza Hernández
🕯️ 7th November, 15.00–20.00
📍 Asylum Chapel, Caroline Gardens, SE15 2SQ

Day 2 invites participants into an evolving sound-led ritual exploring softness, femininity, and symbolic resistance.
Throughout the day, artists and guests move through workshops and performances accompanied by ambient, experimental electronic compositions and live mixing that transform the chapel into a resonant field of care.

💐 12:00–14:30 | Softer Symbols Workshop
with Neomah Stanford & Felicity
Create personal ritual symbols through fabric, paint, and spoken word — guided by live looping and subtle electronic textures composed for the space.

🌹 15:00–16:30 | Nü Shu Workshop
with Jiayi Chen
Fan dance, hidden scripts, and rhythmic breath unfold alongside minimal electronic beats and spectral sound layers.

🥀 17:00–20:00 | Ritualistic Poetry & Sonic Evening
in collaboration with FemmeSocial Press & Apex Zine
An immersive poetry and sound performance evening where voices, analog synthesis, and drone frequencies merge — glitching the familiar and reclaiming rites of passage.

🕯️ 19.45 – Courtesy Time: the chapel will be cleared 15 minutes before closing, as it is a Grade I listed building.

A night of poetic resonance and soft noise — where electronic music becomes the pulse of collective ritual.
