ANGE(L) Icon version, 2025 by Pascal-Michel Dubois

This piece is inspired by the collaborative work of Karl Herzog & Erich Von Holst on the aerodynamic motion of birds’ wings. It consists in the superposition of a pair of diagrams drawn by Herzog on the subject. The head & tail of the bird have been omitted, and the modified superposition reveals a new diagram representing a very peculiar set of wings where the information from the original diagrams has been “mashed up”. This 2025 version is an acrylic painting on board in the classic shape on an icon.

On Substance, 2025 by n:u (melissandre varin)

performance art

invited by and presented at Future Ritual

The stool of a chief, a statue used for worship, an ancestor’s image, a pipe with tobacco still in it, a comb, a vessel to contain food

YOU HIDE ME by Nii Kwate Owoo (1970)

At the border of the land flowing with milk and honey* discourses around acquisition, conservation, patrimony and their definitions that are torn in a personal and global tracing of lineages of substance (ab)use. Staple food elements such as butter and flour - echoing extractivism - are juxtaposed with some of their ancestral, ceremonial, and ritualistic usage. Consumption of culture, gender, spirituality, race, religion, and food is questioned in this offering. With vulnerability and complicity, n:u (melissandre varin) interrogates healing as destruction and destruction as healing.

*Here referring to spiritual justifications of expansionist and genocidal governments.

I Remember (You) Changing, 2025 - 2026 by Sarah White

This performance incorporates dance, speech and song, and is performed by Sarah White, with live singing from Kate Ryan, Donna Matthews and Jack Noutch. It is a prayerful exhortation directed to multiple people at once. It is an attempt to communicate at the edges of language. The work draws from multiple sources, including a strange story of a talking donkey in the Bible. In this story, the she-donkey is more spiritually awake than the human prophet.

The work has been performed at Trinity Laban, Future Ritual and The Swiss Church. It will be performed in June 2026 at All Saints Church, Tudeley

Duration 40 minutes
