CUBE CINEMA AND BLISS ARCHIVE ARE PROUD TO PRESENT -
ASMAA JAMA
Asmaa is a Bristol-based poet and multidisciplinary artist, interested in ancestors, ghosts and diaspora lines.
ARTHUR LEADBETTER
1/5 of local-turned-global post-punk boys Squid, Arthur is bringing his classically trained chops for a rare solo cello performance.
FELIX DRAKE & JACK YOUNG
Felix & Jack's long-postponed collaboration (due Dec' 2021 - but COVID) finally sees the light of the day. Expect folk-horror themes atop beds of minimal compositions.
JAMES MASSIAH
Poet, artist & musician James Massiah brings his frank and stirring spoken word to Bristol.
TARA CLERKIN TRIO (DJ set)
The band that needs no introduction will be keeping things steady throughout the evening as in-house DJs.
AND IN THE SOIL, THERE BE MIRRORS
A collaboration between filmmaker Sam Williams and dancer/performance artist Hollie Miller. Set across a selection of historical locations in the English landscape, the work responds not only to the architecture and former life of these sites but also counteracts a heritage version of the landscape with a Gothic and mythological vision. A series of figures whose traits are drawn from nature and English folklore inhabit the site, possessing a sense of the uncanny and discarding the pastoral, nostalgic images of the countryside that people hold on to.
