Foyle Commission Residency at Battersea Arts Centre

Nwando will be in residency at BAC as part of her Foyle Foundation Commission.

She is developing ‘The Swan’: a performance lecture interrogating the erasure of black histories and ritual cultures.

Nwando wants to develop sensory environments for neurodivergent audiences, and use access creatively throughout the process to question “how do we continue to make work that is evolving accessibility wise?”

Extreme Unction: The Audio Journey hosted by Take Me Somewhere

An hour-long exploration of radical care, pleasure and transformation for BIPOC bodies – a binaural audio journey, for headphones in a darkened room – followed by a 30-minute cinematic coming-together to regroup, where you will feel heard, supported and held.

We invite you to join us in recognising the urgency of care, of pleasure, of transformation, for BIPOC bodies. We present a revolutionary journey into the psyche, a washing away of our supposed shared reality, a gathering together of the fragments of which we’re comprised, transmuting into something rich and strange and new. Diving deep into our unconscious desires, our buried joys, the top/bottom of our collective to-do lists. This is a cleansing, a preparation, an opening for the new cycle: the universal cycle of life-death-life. Decide what your transformation will be. Prepare for the liberation of pleasure, for viridity, for new life.

PLEASE NOTE: This event is only open to Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPOC.) We understand that not everybody will use this term to describe themselves, please see further detail below:

Please only attend this event if you are a person who is racialized with experience of racism, which may include People of African or Caribbean heritage, People of Asian Heritage (South, East, Southeast, Central) People of Middle Eastern, South American, Islander or Indigenous heritage.

It is important that you do not attend or book this event if the above does not apply to you. You will be asked to confirm this during and after booking the event.

Taking Afro Diaspora Ritual Movement and rhythm as an Afrofuturist technology, Nwando Ebizie as Lady Vendredi led this workshop, connecting participants with an ancestral movement, geared towards the future self. Building up movement, rhythm and song worked towards group improvisation and emotive release. The mythic, scientific and online video culture will met in movements of sensory deprivation and immersion, and invited participants to challenge assumptions and bias about their own perceptual frameworks.
