Performance Lecture / Listening session with Katie Shannon and Ribeka

In this session, Katie Shannon will present a performance lecture derived from related research, sound and ephemera. Accompanied by Ribeka who will play a selection of tracks related to Shannon’s exhibition and the night they collaboratively ran, 'So Low'.

The event takes place as part of Katie Shannon's exhibition BACK/PRUNE/VIRGIN/RUIN at Goldsmiths CCA, which comprises print, steel sculpture, video and sound recordings. Drawing on sustained engagement with peripheral musical histories and voices, feminist readings of time and space, and fascinations with municipal and public forms, her work traces the temporal, socioeconomic, psychogeographical and material conditions that structure shared experience.
