Join us on the Leap Day for the first edition of Gatherings, with an afternoon programme of performance, readings and screenings.

Gatherings is a new and ongoing event series by Mascara Film Club exploring the intersection of Performance and Artists Moving Image. The series looks to foreground these time-based media as open, social and communal events.

Hosted by San Mei Gallery, this inaugural edition of Gatherings takes as its subject the use of scripts and subtitling within video and performance.

Participating artists: Bo Choy, Keren Cytter, Misha Farrant, Scarlett Hirst, Geraldine Snell, Imran Perretta, Reman Sadani, and Josephine Rock.

Full programme timings to be announced shortly.

Please note that this event will not be taking place in our regular location, but at San Mei Gallery in Brixton. Given that we won’t be hosted in a bar, we’ve decided this will be a sober event. Instead, we will be providing some delicious vegan food!

Food will be available with a pay-what-you-can donation going towards That and A Signal, an artist-run project bringing Contemporary Art directly into secondary schools. Their new publication of writing by students, That and Signal: Two Minutes, will also be available to buy.
