Carriageworks Resident Company invites you for An Afternoon with Performance Space with works by Julie-Anne Long, Ivey Wawn and Cherine Fahd.
Tea with Queenie
Julie Anne Long
Meet one of Julie-Anne Long’s Invisiblist personas up close and share a very special afternoon tea with her.
The Invisiblists are women of a certain age whose invisibility in the eyes of society-at-large is both a curse and a superpower. Creating subtle magic, awkward moments and fleeting encounters, they invite us to question the way we think about ourselves and the people around us.
In Perpetuity, Mourning Dance
Ivey Wawn
In this iteration of In Perpetuity, dancers in Carriageworks’ public space will move through real and imagined territories from now, and just before now, and much before that.
Ecdysis is a scientific term describing the process by which reptiles shed their skin to allow for new growth. Cherine Fahd’s video installation brings together forty-four monumental video portraits of women of different ages and walks of life, engaged in an act of struggle and surrender with the artist. Luminously projected in a darkened space, the shedding of skin suggested by these portraits raises tensions between control and release, bringing us to the precipice of transformation. Each subject’s performance tells a different story spanning resistance and acceptance, tenderness and strength, authority and vulnerability.
Ecdysis is curated by Daniel Mudie Cunningham and Jeff Khan
