Shocked Quartz

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

How does our relationship to survival change overtime? Is crisis something we have become too attached to as an educational tool? How may shock, or shaking, give way to alternatives?Shocked Quartz takes its name from the metamorphic features that develop on rocks during a highly pressured event such as a meteorite crash or natural disaster. Currently, the transgender movement has reached a specific moment in history, which some describe as the ‘transgender tipping point’. It is a moment of rupture, dissensus and instability, but also opportunity and potential – a shaking of structure and the production of new meanings. Shocked Quartz will examine themes of political and personal crisis, initiating dialogue around how queer, transgender people survive during tumultuous times.Featuring Artists Danielle Brathwaite-ShirleyLou Lou Sainsbury Tirdad Hashemi Puer Deorum Alex Diamond-Rivlin Gray Wielebinski Matthew Rimmer Rudy Loewe Deen AtgerShadi Al-Atallah Eve Stainton Ebun A Sodipo Romeo Roxman Co-curated by Alex Diamond-Rivlin and Deen Atger The event is fully accessible for wheelchair users.
