About
A Collective Archive is a four-day celebration of artistic practices, shared resistance, and the many communities that have shaped Ugly Duck over the past thirteen years. What began as a temporary project space became a home for interdisciplinary, experimental, and politically engaged work—a space for collaboration, risk, and ideas outside the margins of mainstream culture.
We invite you to join us for this summer chapter: a gathering, a gesture of gratitude, and a call to collective imagination.
Programme:
Thursday 12 June – Opening soirée with works and performances by Biogal, Bold Melon Collective and artists supported by Southwark Pride.
Friday 13 June – Performance Night with Martin O’Brien and more.
Saturday 14 June – Archive collage workshop, panel talks, live radio show and The Last Dance – a final party featuring Josh Quinton and Tribe Incorporated.
Sunday 15 June – Closing performances by Chloé Filani, Puer Deorum and Joy Kincaid.
This project is a celebration of what has been possible and what can be done again. A reflection on subversive practices in a gentrified city. Not from a place of mourning, but from a desire to imagine otherwise.
This event is the culmination of a community-driven archival project we designed to honour & conserve our legacy of showcasing daring & avant-garde art crucial to London’s LGBTQIA+ community. Thanks to the support of Arts Council England this will include the publishing of a book, a mixed media archive and concludes with this week long exhibition, performances & talks event to celebrate the impact of UD together.
