What's On Friday 22nd April in Bristol

Events on Friday 22nd April

“Drawing from circus, stand-up and live art, Contra is a solo-cabaret of contradictions. Fierce, witty and uncompromising, this highly physical show interrogates personal, social and historical occupations of the female body and explores, literally, where such bodies are positioned and how we are meant to look at them. Expect scenes of nudity, aerial acrobatics, and explicit references to mythical reptiles and female sexuality.”

“History, belonging and race converge with climate crisis, ecosystems and care in these startling and vibrant poems by Tjawangwa Dema. With illustrations by Tebogo Cranwell, and a foreword by Chris Abani, 'an/other pastoral' is a compelling collection that refuses easy representations of where nature can be found, and what it means to be human now.”

“In tonight's Cables & Cameras curated set of films and talks we will explore stories from the Commonwealth to the Windrush generation. Unpacking and discussing intersectionality and identity, including the experiences of non-binary persons of colour in the UK. There will also be films as visual poetry stories that tackle heartbreak and solidarity.”
