Flora Victorious

About

Venture Arts would like to invite you to the first in the new series of VA Collectives evenings. FLORA VICTORIOUS is in celebration of a return to artistic collaborative practice post pandemic! The evening centres around a performance by artists Joe Mills, Ruby Tingle and Raven Keating. Performances will take place intermittently from 6.30 to 8pm in the Yard Theatre at our studios in Hulme. This event is intended to encourage networking for the Manchester art community and a chance for further conversations surrounding disability in the contemporary visual art scene. Refreshments will be provided.

Joe and Ruby have been working together over several months, combining their practices to create a one-off soundscape and immersive performance based on their explorations together in the natural world. Ruby Tingle is an audiovisual artist and performer who creates fleeting self portraits, placing herself at the centre of a body of work which focuses on “unnatural history” and its own folklore. Joe Mills is based at Venture Arts Studios and uses textiles, light, and movement to make joyous, colourful work from nature-based research, rooted in fairytale imagery, TV and high fashion. Both artists have an inventive and experimental approach and have created FLORA VICTORIOUS, a dreamy multi-textured set in which they work together intuitively as performers.

Raven Keating is an artist based at Venture Arts Studios working mainly in digital animation and projection mapping. They have collaborated with Joe and Ruby for this performance producing a bespoke animation and projected light work.
