Information about the performers
Shona Macnaughton is an artist who performs, each live event is structured around a state, institutional or labour process. Collaging contemporary character archetypes of tone and movement with political histories, her performances involve the failure of interaction and a participative tension, which result in pathologically awkward encounters. Shona has performed and exhibited nationally and internationally in galleries, museums, theatres, gig venues, clubs, dives, public space and online platforms.
Beer Fear is an experimental noise duo propelled by boredom and anxiety. Their performances are different every time; sometimes good, sometimes bad, you get what you’re given.
Hurrian Cult Legacy (K. Woods) is a PhD artist and essayist at the University of Newcastle. In her sound practice, she improvises with home-made electronic instruments, sampling, video-to-audio and synths. Her work has featured at the Wrong Biennale, Peckham Creative Computing festival, Sonic Bites with Cryptic, videoclub’s digital programme, Radiophrenia, and the 10th international conference on digital and interactive arts Artech, among others. With its critique of nationalism, specifically the ideas of ‘Englishness’ and ‘Britishness’, Hurrian Cult Legacy’s debut album was described by author of ‘Pop Music and Hip Ennui: A Sonic Fiction of Capitalist Realism’, Macon Holt, as ‘articulating a form of musical resistance to island mentality’.
