common host: gathering the parasitic (un)natural
Working with strange archetypes and inviting in odd beings, this gathering explores practices such as mumming, situating these ancient folk customs in new relation to the post-industrial landscapes of London and Essex. Convened by zack mennell to mark the end of their project (para)site, the programme draws in members of zack's artistic community and performances, conversation, a workshop and an exhibition. zack will show a new short film, made in collaboration with Baiba Sprance and Marco Berardi. zack will facilitate contaminated materials, a workshop exploring performing our difficult histories.
