ArtsLab: Collide

VENUE: 107 Redfern

ArtsLab: Collide is a festival of new work from Sydney's most exciting emerging artists. With daring new works spanning film, dance, visual arts, musical theatre and puppetry - this year's ArtsLab is an exciting blend of young voices.

IN THE GALLERY:

'THE GIRL IS/A GLITCH' by Mym Kwa

This experimental movement work weaves through the architecture of 107, remixing, reflecting and reimagining our shared space. Schedule: Performing in the Gallery spaces 5-8:30pm weekdays, and 1-4:30pm weekends.

'ONE OCEAN, MANY WAVES’ by Gabriel Faatau'uu-Satiu

A 3-part screen installation exploring a glimpse of what it means to identify as Tagata Moana in Sydney Australia. This is story sovereignty at its finest – an amalgamation of documentary-style interviews, traditional song/dance, a display of textiles underpinned by poetry/rap/monologues written/performed by a village of Pasifika people.

'ARTEFACTS OF THE REVOLUTION' by Fatima Naqvi

A series of graphite on paper drawings exploring what captures the beauty and magnificence of the artist's Shi'a Muslim Pakistani identity. Fatima's work is about confronting the internalised  discomfort that comes with being born into a body which is othered.

The Gallery is open 11am - Closing, Wed-Saturday and during scheduled show hours on Sundays during the season.
