Twenty years after the urban riots that represented one of the most significant events in recent French history, Triangle-Astérides invites author and poet Sonia Chiambretto, whose poetic writing multiplies points of view by composing creative texts, testimonials and archival documents; addressing issues of socio-spatial segregation, structural racism, as well as emotions.
The collective exhibition will feature artists close to Sonia Chiambretto and new collaborations, revolving around the set of her play Oasis Love which will be the setting for a range of different interventions (readings, performances). Like a spring, I will be many will follow the thread running through the play: “the poetic motor of Oasis Love lies in the meaning of the word ‘riot’, literally: ‘to create emotion’.”
Performed reading by Sonia Chiambretto (with Lawrence Davis) for the opening, Friday February 7 at 6pm at Panorama (free admission, no reservation required).

Dear F... at London Short Film Festival

British Lives
Start Time:
24th Jan 18:20
Location:
Curzon Soho
Runtime:
87 min
An exploration of the multifaceted and unified nature of British identity. Using camcorders, letters, and analogue memories, these films compose fractions of stories set in rural geographies and trace immigration heritage. From folkloric rumours of gigantic cats, whimsical Elvis impersonation and digital re-examinations of systemic segregation, these films speak from the heart of British identity - collecting stories from all over the nation to paint a cross-cultural, contemporary portrait.
We combine odes to eccentric British humour such as Piece of Cake and My Dad and the Volcano, and traverse the day-to-day of immigrant heritage in Journey Mercies and Dear F... discovering intimate, nostalgic records of regional history.
Above all, this programme seeks to celebrate British cultural self-consciousness within the filmically manifold.

Perspective(s): Artes Mundi and National Roman Legion Museum
Perspective(s), is an ambitious Welsh arts programme, that brings together seven ethnically and culturally diverse artists with a connection to Wales, working in collaboration with all seven Amgueddfa Cymru – Museum Wales sites and visual arts organisations nationwide.
Perspective(s) examines hidden histories within Wales’ national museums, from Welsh Plains used to clothe enslaved Africans to the lavish red sofa of Robert Clive, a figure central to British colonialism in India. The programme tackles complex and painful legacies; it rethinks the past to pave the way for a more inclusive future, one that acknowledges the diverse contributions and experiences that have shaped Wales and the world.
Hannan Jones, Artes Mundi and National Roman Legion Museum in 'A Frontier in Depth' investigates how shifting boundaries influence our understanding of identity and place. A trilogy of short films, beginning in the National Roman Legion Museum's subterranean archive, pictures displayed artefacts that embody multiple narratives, raising questions of how these items shape collective memory and fragmented histories. Expanding outward, the second film is driven by soundscapes around us, while the third focuses on the celestial - a tool for navigation and governance throughout time. New clay vessels created through community engagement prompt meaningful reflections on the present and future, while a culminating site-specific soundscape, merges past and present to amplify imaginary potentials.
Collaborating with young people from Newport Youth Academy, members of Roots Newport and River Folk Pottery resulted in a series of new clay vessels embodying reflections on the present and future.
The project will culminate in a new context-specific multi-channel soundscape within the Caerleon Amphitheatre, merging past and present to amplify imaginary potentials that could lie ahead. Keep an eye out for news about future launch events in January, plus film and sound installations and publications in spring 2025.

pass shadow, whisper shade brings together new work by the six participants in the 2024 Satellites Programme: Clarinda Tse, Emelia Kerr Beale, Hannan Jones, Josie KO, Katherine Fay Allan and Rowan Markson.
The title borrows from an Irish proverb, 'Ar scáth a chéile a mhaireann na daoine', roughly translating as 'people live in each other’s shadows', or, ‘we rely on each other for shelter.’ Both a shade and a shadow, this kind of shelter encompasses the positive and negative aspects of being part of a community, living in the shadow of each other and our ancestors.
Across a range of distinctive and individual practices and media, the works signal something of the complexity of inheritance, raising questions of how we process and make sense of that which we inherit, the expansive multiplicity of legacies passed down by and through earlier generations – be that material, cultural, genetic or spiritual, wanted and unwanted – and how this informs how we inhabit ourselves and the world in the present day and into the future.

Between any two possibilities there is darkness | Part of Intentional Pauses (and Unforeseen Gaps)
Hannan Jones and Miriam Mallalieu programme a workshop and screening at Dundee Contemporary Arts for Intentional Pauses (and Unforeseen Gaps) Season 1.
‘Never assume or pretend to understand anything. We all know you don’t, just like we don’t.’
In this screening, moments in history are revisited and revealed, narratives are fractured and pieced together and structures of how things might be understood are challenged. Films have been selected for their uncertainty, introducing unease into what was presumed, what has been said and how things might have unfolded.
Programme:
Introduction: 10 mins,
Basim Magdy, 13 Essential Rules for Understanding the World, (2011), 5 min 16s
Maha Maamoun, 2026, (2010), 9 min

That the Sunset Is A Lie | Intentional Pauses (and Unforeseen Gaps)
Hannan Jones and Dr. Miriam Mallalieu host a workshop with Dr. Viviane Saglier, inspired by Gelare Khoshgozaran’s ‘That the Sunset Is A Lie’ (2021) at DCA. ‘That the Sunset Is A Lie’ shown as a 35mm slide projection as part of Between any two possibilities there is darkness, a screening following the workshop.
This workshop invites participants to question how stories are constructed. We will explore how the sequencing of image and text can create a variety of narratives, examining the meanings that emerge and how they might be interpreted. Inspired by Gelare Khoshgozaran’s‘That the Sunset is a Lie’ by juxtaposing text and images, participants will work directly with drawing, 35mm slide images and existing film stills to create sequences that open up new possibilities for storytelling. The workshop will be led by Viviane Saglier, Hannan Jones and Miriam Mallalieu.

Intentional Pauses (and Unforeseen Gaps) Part of Artists' Moving Image Programme
LUX Scotland is delighted to announce a new artists’ moving image programme. Between Autumn 2024 and Spring 2025, we will deliver a peripatetic festival in partnership with Dundee Contemporary Arts, the Pier Arts Centre and ATLAS Arts. We have paired six emerging artists to collaboratively programme and co-curate three seasons of screenings and events. These artist-programmers are: Hannan Jones and Miriam Mallalieu; Heather Andrews and Louise Barrington; Aqsa Arif and Hector MacInnes. Working with organisations and artists across Scotland, the programme focuses on collaboration and follows an itinerant model that prioritises sustainability, slowness and access.
‘Intentional Pauses (and Unforeseen Gaps)’ offers emerging artists an opportunity to programme screenings and events as a way to explore and interrogate new ideas in a collaborative and supportive environment. Contextualising concerns within their practices alongside another artist-programmer, the programme will present works by local and international artists to audiences across Scotland. The programme has been supported by programming training sessions by artists Emmie McLuskey and Morgan Quaintance.
Season 1: Hannan Jones and Miriam Mallalieu with Dundee Contemporary Arts, September 2024
Season 2: Heather Andrews and Louise Barrington with the Pier Arts Centre, Orkney, November 2024
Season 3: Aqsa Arif and Hector MacInnes with ATLAS Arts, Isle of Skye, February 2025
‘Intentional Pauses (and Unforeseen Gaps)’ builds on the history of LUX Scotland and Tramway’s Artists’ Moving Image Festival (AMIF) and takes its name from an essay by AMIF 2021 programmer Tako Taal’s reflections on the innovative reconfiguration of the festival, GIVE BIRTH TO ME TOMORROW, during the pandemic. This essay will be available to read in the forthcoming publication documenting the festival, edited by Tako Taal and co-programmer Adam Benmaklouf, and designed by Isabel Barfod.
‘Intentional Pauses (and Unforeseen Gaps)’ is funded through Screen Scotland’s National Lottery Film Festival and Screening Programme Fund in partnership with Dundee Contemporary Arts, the Pier Arts Centre and ATLAS Arts. Thank you to Hannah Moitt for the design of the programme’s visual identity.

Summer Festival Music: Performance by Hannan Jones & Shamica Ruddock 2:00pm-2:30pm, 17 August 2024
The expanded music programme at the 2024 Summer Festival is programmed by artist and musician Shhe.
Buy your tickets here to attend Hospitalfield’s Summer Festival…
In the Studio, Hannan Jones and Shamica Ruddock present the performance Re-Imagining In-Conversation, a research-based sonic venture encompassing speculation, jazz poetics, improvisation and dreaming.
For this iteration, they work with a combination of electronics, percussion, and wind moving through two identified sonic chapters of murmur and clamour.
The performative exploration of the in-conversation format extends a myriad of identified shared and diverging research interests spanning Eduoard Glissant’s Poetics of Relations to Female Voices in Revolution: Autobiography and Collective Memory in Assia Djebar’s Fantasia: An Algerian Cavalcade and Merle Collins’s Angel; a text placing the orality of Algeria in relation to the oral traditions of the Caribbean.

Sound Design and Orignal Compositon for SEEING RED by Owain Train McGilvary.
Seeing Red reanimates North Wales’ only gay bar, destroyed by arson a decade ago, interviewing erstwhile patrons and assembling an informal archive from digital remnants. This bilingual tribute is supported by a suite of elegiac drawings, offered in memoriam of lost queer histories.
I worked on an original composition and 5.1 multichannel sound design for the exhibition at 5 Florence Street which is premiering as part of Glasgow International 2024, ‘I’m attended as a portal myself’ is a two person show presented by artists Bobbi Cameron and Owain Train McGilvary.
The 2024 Oscillation festival is a reflection on form, format, and performance. The self-evidence of an active performance linked to music has been altered with the ubiquity of electronic instruments and forms of amplification, which has also resulted in a larger variety of concert formats. Yet, absence of activity on stage does not equate to an absence of performance: objects might take that role, everyday events can be framed to perform themselves, sounds may exist as forms in themselves. Degrees of reality morph, appear, and disappear.
As ever, the listener plays an essential role in this context, taking part in the interaction by allowing themselves to be immersed in the sonic experience and respond to the proposed formats. Each performance situation thrives on a certain formality, with codes of behaviour which are more or less implicit. It creates a space of appearance for both performer and listener, oscillating between immersive proximity and reflective distance, between the autonomy of subjective experience and a communal experience amplified by the formal situation. Forms are dynamic spaces to be inhabited by new relations.
Spaces influence the atmosphere and the aura of the moment. Formats serve to make what is happening legible for a public, and channel the chaotic and dynamic situation which emerges when music, performer, and listener meet. The interlacing of form, format, and performance generates listening attitudes which might be perceived as a mixture of distance, presence, or participation, depending on, or fuelled by the spaces and places they occur.

Listening Party
Friday 3rd November
6–9pm
Join us in the gallery for a listening party to celebrate this year’s summer broadcasts project in collaboration with Clyde Built Radio. Each of the commissioned artists will present a revised and shortened version of their original broadcasts on Clyde Built Radio.
Unfolding through June – October this year, summer broadcasts was a series of four sound commissions by Hannan Jones, Sgàire Wood, Lydia Davies and Yulia Carolin Kothe, four Glasgow-based early career interdisciplinary artists currently working with sound, poetry, broadcast, or music. Responding to the increase in the foregrounding and programming of transient methods of working and interdisciplinary art practice within a contemporary visual art context over the last few years, this new programme at David Dale Gallery seeks to continue to support these practices.
The commissioned works responded loosely to the theme of broadcast as a site for connection and reflection, and were supported with mentorship from local community radio station Clyde Built Radio. They were also broadcast on Clyde Built Radio, who are based just up the road from the gallery in the Barras Market and are all now available to listen on our website and Clyde Built Radio’s archive.

All films foreground an element of research, ritual or rhythm, be that submerged, unseen, felt or subconsciously known. These landscapes are explored both through direct narratives, subtle gestures, and are grounded by the sonic sphere.
Each film, an offering or glimpse into the past and connections spanning various spaces and temporalities. second sights and infrared sprites is a programme that leans into liberation, parallel possibilities or realities, illuminating the many compasses we can choose to follow. Each film will have an improvised sonic response by Simone Searles.

Seeking Channels, Anthology published by Park Press Out Now!
Conceived in response to a collective sense of freefall, Seeking Channels interrogates the systems that shape our ways of knowing & searches for tools that help bring into focus a connection to our world. Against a backdrop of techno-solutionism, global heating & escape strategies, Seeking Channels looks for worms in the mud and asks their grandparents how to plant a garden.
Featuring Billy Crosby & Sian Newlove-Drew, Bones Tan Jones & Nicolette Clara Iles, Dayna Casey, El Hardwick, Feral Practice, Georgia May Jaeckle, Georgie Hurst, Dr Helen Greaves, Hannan Jones & Shamica Ruddock, Holly White, Ibiye Camp, Milo Creese, Sean Roy Parker, and Kris Lock.
Blue Grey Haze is a sonic landscape that begins with a locked groove, serving as a rhythmic foundation that unfolds progressively and cyclically returns. It brings together new compositions, poems and research elements, field recordings, and collected audio materials that undergo deliberate sonic shifts, amplifying the sense of constellations within composition whilst sitting in a state of flux bound by the locked groove.
