LXCL:1 ticket to Reclaiming Waters

General Admission

A screening of the&nbsp;National Emergency Briefing and discussion, followed by the Uncanny Waters short film.&nbsp; The National Emergency Briefing (50 mins) presents evidence on how the climate and nature crisis threatens UK life, alongside credible solutions. An accessible film for communities followed by a group discussion.&nbsp; Uncanny Waters film (10 mins), a short documentary of a 6-month intergenerational LGBTQ+ project by Heads Bodies Legs Collective. It follows a queer community creating costumes and performance in and around the Thames and its tributaries, and celebrates the power of queer imagination to create futures of care beyond the brutality of the present.&nbsp; The reclaiming waters event will bring together artists, activists and intergenerational LGBTQ+ communities, to consider how artists can make pollution, extraction and environmental change understood differently. &nbsp;Within Uncanny Waters: Weathering&nbsp;exhibition, the river is both ancestor and archive, carrying queer histories alongside the traces of industry, migration and ecological damage. Mudlarked objects, rusted fabrics, river water, costume and photography become prompts for exploring what the Thames carries. Through this discussion, we consider the systems shaping the river and ask what new forms of care might emerge to support the river. &nbsp;
