Florence Peake | Your meaning not your materiality

Created by acclaimed interdisciplinary artist Florence Peake, Your meaning not your materiality explores the choreographic potential of the sculptural process of casting in plaster. Examining plaster's materiality, properties, and use of negative space, the work considers the 'setting' process as a metaphor for the ephemeral nature of the creative process. Blending movement with live plaster casting, the performance transforms the Leeds Art Gallery space into a mock artist studio.

Rise Up Festival | Windrush by Song

After picking up an old photo, a brother and sister are transported to 1940’s Nevis, the home of their grandparents, Sorel and Ginger. Through this lens, we see Sorel and Ginger’s journey leaving home, arriving on cold shores, finding each other, and forming a loving family, all while enduring racist Britain.
