This event centres on three elements of life which have seen renewed curiosity - Spiritualism, Nuclearism and Futurism. At a time where the dizzying effect of life is reaching tumultuous levels this event will bring together film, food, performance and critical thinking taking audiences on an immersive journey that considers our time and place. It will fuse together concepts of feminism, mythology, mysticism and ecology with place and genre in order to create an experiential event.

The films will be accompanied by a rope performance by Scottish company, Spinal Chord, who will choreograph a piece pulling out key themes from the films. It will also include edible bits of curiosity inspired by Alice in Wonderland’s magic mushrooms, each bite will include a quote from prominent thinkers such as Ngugi Wa Thiong’o, Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Franz Fanon, and more. Audiences will be prompted to eat these and engage with the texts throughout the event. The screenings will be followed by a post screening discussion.

This event will take place in person and online.
