Taking its name from the pagan celebration of spring, OSTARA will bring together a transnational cohort of artists, musicians and filmmakers, each with an interest in folklore, seasonal rhythms and geological pulses.Schedule:6:30: Doors open7—7:30PM: Arietis Sisters and the SunWork from Anežka Abrtová, Nela Britaňáková, Natasha Moody, Nastja Säde Rönkkö, Maya Gurung Russel Campbell, Djuna O'Neill, Maya Ramnarine, Carlos Maria Romero AKA Atabey, Alice Walter and Alexi Marshall will also be available to view at the event as part of OSTARA.ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE:Arietis Sisters and the Sun is a new collaborative site-specific performance work devised by Lucie Kordačová and Miroslava Večeřová. Mirroring the four stars within Aries, four performers will mimic the movements of Aries during this ecliptic phase and singer Adelaide Percy will accompany this ritual with an original rendition of a traditional Slovakian folk song.The costumes and props weave together references from various cultures’ associations with Aries, creating otherworldly figures who dwell in intertidal zones, rejoicing in the wonder of the cosmos. Candles for this performance have been collaboratively produced with Studio Hadaikum.All ticket sales will help support the development of this performance.Performers: Lize Bouchon, Hannah Collisson, Jess Mabel-Jones and Santi SorrentiBIOS OF PERFORMERSMiroslava Večeřová was born in Prague, Czech Republic and is now based along the UK coast of the English Channel. Her multifaceted art practice is fascinated by deep time and fossilised ideas reflecting on human relationships with ecosystems and other species like animals, plants and minerals. Through an artistic language often comprised of sculpture, drawing, performance and participatory situations, her latest works explore interconnections between bodies, minerals and images.Lucie Kordačová was born in Mlada Boleslav, Czech Republic, and now lives and works in Sheffield, UK. Her largely collaborative practice takes the form of site-specific installations, sculptures, moving image and performance. In her work she explores methods of collaboration, alternative education practices and issues that are pertinent to the communities she works within, including the human and more-than-human landscapes.Adelaide Percy is a singer-songwriter, producer and creative facilitator. Her music intends to foster healing through philosophical flows and soulful melodies, expressed through her unique blend of psychedelic hip-hop and soulful jazz. She has performed throughout the UK and Europe, highlights including SoFar Sounds Madrid, the O2 Academy Islington and Upstairs at the Ritzy.OSTARA has been curated by Fran Painter-Fleming and Miroslava Večeřová.This project has been generously supported by Flatland Projects and Goldsmiths Exhibitions hub. Drinks at the opening are being provided by Brewing Brothers.
