Articles & Updates

Taking place from 10am-4pm on Thursday 16th April, we're bringing together artists, activists and curious minds to offer a wide range of perspectives on the role that technology plays within contemporary arts practice and our everyday lives, and how this is shifting our understanding of what socially-engaged art practice is, or what it could be.

Part provocation and part performance, Time Well Sung invites us to consider freedom not just as escape, but as presence: a way of being connected to the world. Nature becomes both metaphor and medium for this kind of deliverance.

This Performance will invite audiences to witness a multisensory, posthuman event where peat, air, time, and breath will form the elemental score: peat will speak through centuries of carbon, decay, and memory; air will move invisibly within the bubble; time will be drawn in ink across the bubble’s surface; and breath will be shared, held, and exchanged.

Dance with us in Market Square, where GSD, local champions of Donny’s underground music scene, present a powerful line-up.

I’ve Got the Power: The Performance is a symbolic gesture reminiscent of the UK's official Budget Day “red box," but reimagined in Linda’s own hands.

Wind Whisper is a participatory, improvisational performance which loops different instruments together to captivate the audience into a sonic ritual of escapism, calmness and human-nature kinship.

I Walked Here is a concept for a new kind of informal eco-certificate that celebrates walking as a legitimate and superior form of sustainable transportation.

We're at the Unitarians Church behind the Artbomb Hub on Hall Gate and entry is FREE, as is everything during the festival. This event is BYO.

GSD have collaborated with ArtBomb and organised three music events so far, including a rap night, an acoustic session and a DJ Party night.

The aim is to highlight the negative environmental excesses of relying on consumer goods brought to the UK from the other side of the world.

The idea is to create an audio journey which explores the sounds and frequencies inside the honey bee’s home, the beehive.
