Sounds Like Chaos: Sunday
Wind down on Sunday and drop into hands-on, participatory workshops exploring belonging, journeys, home and identity, designed by SOUNDS LiKE CHAOS collective.
Map your route(s) home
Zine-maker and creative Zoë Thompson invites you to explore the memories, anecdotes and pathways of wherever home is for you through creating your own zine. Does a particular bus route fill you with nostalgia? What are the best things about where you live? Does the Catford Cat secretly come to life at night? Come and make a zine and map it with drawings, doodles, poems and anywhere your heart leads.
Copywriter and zine-maker Zoë Thompson is the founder of sweet-thang zine. She specialises in editorial design and hosts creative writing and zine-making workshops. sweet-thang is a print zine and indie press, publishing work by Black creatives worldwide.
The Steps I’ve Taken
Contribute to a growing art installation tracing the footsteps of our journeys, physical and metaphorical, and our memories of home in a workshop designed by SOUNDS LiKE CHAOS collective member Chiquita Delisser, working in collaboration with visual artist Tasnim Mahdy.
Tasnim Mahdy is a multidisciplinary artist based in London who specialises in mural painting, public installations, illustration and cyanotype prints. She also facilitates workshops for young people and marginalised communities, exploring themes of migration, collective imagination, archives, mark-making and movement. Recently, she led the workshop ‘Cyanotypes – Archives and Markings of Home’, which delved into the Juliana Anicia Codex and guided participants in creating cyanotype prints that narrate personal stories and connections to home.
Soundcamp Live Stream
Accompanying the workshops, arts collective Soundcamp is live-streaming a remote long-form live set that incorporates live-streams from diverse ecosystems, interwoven with synthesised textures and electronic beats. The live environmental sounds point towards a situation beyond the space, of realities co-existing, non human and more than human presented at once.
Soundcamp are an arts cooperative in London, Glasgow, Berlin, Crete and The Hague. We work on transmission ecologies from DIY interventions to large scale public projects, almost always in collaboration with other artists and organisations.
This event is curated in collaboration with SOUNDS LiKE CHAOS.
SOUNDS LiKE CHAOS is a youth arts collective based in Lewisham, made up of 13 – 25-year-olds from diverse backgrounds, with the ideas, skills and perspectives the cultural and creative industries desperately need. Their work crosses genres, making original theatre and performance, music and sound art, fashion, film, performance, youth-led research and podcasts.
This summer, we’re collaborating with a range of London-based collectives and organisations to curate the Riverside Stage in response to the theme of our season You Belong Here, enabling these collaborators to welcome different audiences and recognise how they want and choose to belong here at the Southbank Centre.
