Performance and Workshop with Fourthland

SPACE

This participatory event will activate the installation, BearMotherHouse, through a domestic ritual and sound performance, revealing some of the layers of the mythical story of BearMotherHouse and the women that formed 'a home' together.
Following the performance, the evening will finish with a group discussion and sharing of the subjects explored through the shared activity.  
Tea and refreshments will be available.

BearMotherHouse is a newly commissioned interactive installation by the artist collective Fourthland. The London-based artists, Louise Sayarer and Eva Knutsdotter, utilise their practice to facilitate encounters with people and communities, draw marginalised knowledge into the foreground and explore forgotten modes of social and environmental consciousness.
Fourthland have been collaborating with Xenia, a friendship and English language project for migrant and English-speaking women based in Hackney. Through art making, performative and storytelling workshops between Fourthland and Xenia, a tale has been woven, entitled BearMotherHouse, that tells of a mythical reality of matriarchal reign and domestic sustenance.
