MARGATE ARTS CLUB – 276 Northdown Rd, Cliftonville, Margate CT9 2PT

“Orientations, then, are about the intimacy of bodies and their dwelling places.’ – Sara Ahmed

Stimuli from the past and present. Movement emerges. Sometimes we call it a ritual and perform it alone or with another, or many others. 

TLC is an evening of film and sound performances exploring ‘the intimacy of bodies and their dwelling places’, discovered through our connection with the self, technology, environment, and each other. In this selection of films, dis/orientations of the body are navigated through dances between erasure and resistance, queer utopias imagined through ‘Swamp Thing’, quests for self-discovery, and setting aside or tuning in to ancestral wisdom. Following the screening, two live sound performances invite an intimate collective sonic journey guided by the performers.  

TLC features short films by Peter Spanjer, Laila Majid & Louis Blue Newby, Fatemeh Kazemi, Sara Sadik, and Basel Abbas & Ruanne Abou-Rahme; and performances by James Jordan Johnson & Zeynep Ağcabay.

TLC is curated by OSE Associate Sarah Khan.

OSE Public Programme 2022-23

This event is held as part of Open School East’s 2022-23 Associate-led Public Programme. This year’s Associate-led Public Programme responds to themes of social & ecological hybridity, as set out in the Associate’s first term curriculum entitled When The World Looks Back At You: about storytelling, ecology and the weird led by artist Saelia Aparicio. Through explorations of the voice, the body and sensitive connections with natural and man-made networks that unite the world around us, the Associate-led Public Programme looks to and explores creativity and collectivity in green spaces.

This year we’re excited to announce our partnership with Turner Contemporary, who are generously hosting part of the public programme.
