Supernormal Festival

About

It’s a pleasure and an honour to announce the following artists and musicians are joining the fray - ranging from Ugandan acholitronix to Belgian punk rock, from Avon-based industrial trap to Liverpudlian grindcore, and from a six-time snooker world champion to South African post-colonial confrontational performance art, we’re proud to represent the most kaleidoscopic and mercurial sweep of creativity available anywhere in range.

Brand new art and music announcements are as follows:

AKNE - BASIC DICKS - BEELZEBUB’S BUGGY - BLOODY HEAD - BLOOD STEREO - BODYVICE - COCAINE PISS - CRUMBLING GHOST - EWA JUSTKA - FAKA - GRETA PISTACECI - GRIGG, KELLY & SNEDDON - GWENIFER RAYMOND - HORSEBASTARD - IN TRANSITY BY DO-IY - JON COLLIN - KAMPIRE - KINLAW ; FRANCO FRANCO - MERCURO-CHROME - MOE - OTIM ALPHA - PATRICIA PISANELLI - TOMOKO SAUVAGE - SEXTON MING’S PORRIDGE VAN - SOLAR CHIRPERS - THE UTOPIA STRONG - YOU&TH - VIRIDIAN - ZAD - KOKAR - STEVE DAVIS & KAVUS TORABI - STORYTELLER

We’re also particularly thrilled to be bringing an exhibition of ‘HEXEN 2.0’ by one of our favourite artists SUZANNE TREISTER to the drawing room of Braziers House. This body of work looks into histories of scientific research behind government programmes of mass control, investigating parallel histories of countercultural and grass roots movements. It moreover offers a space where one may use the works as a tool to envision possible alternative futures.

Meanwhile, even as we confront such possibilities the Supernormal residency is taking place in Braziers, the results of which will see the following exciting and resolutely compromise-averse artists engaging with the history of the community and location of Braziers Park to bring new dimensions and manifestations of
their work to the festival:

JESSICA ASHMAN - NICK HARRIS - ROB SHUTTLEWORTH - APRIL LIN - SAMIIR SAUNDERS - SAMUEL LANCHIN -  SAMRA MAYANJA

We’ll also be welcoming the following artist-led workshops and activities, underlining the status of Supernormal as a festival where no delination exists between artists and attendees, and where engagement, dialogue and communication are all:

3 SIDED FOOTBALL - ALICE WITH COSMOS - BABY BOLIDE SONIC CRECHE - BOMILITO DOKKAEBI MASK MAKING AND NANTA WORKSHOP - DRONE ORCHESTRA - GOLDEN RATIO SOUND YOGA WITH AHRKH - HAT LADY - MORNING LIFE DRAWING - LOG SYNTH WOODLAND WORKSHOP - RENATA MINOLDO - SUSTAINABLE KNITS - SOCIAL INSTRUMENTS OCARINA MAKING WORKSHOP - THE MYCO LOUNGE - THE SLICE IS RIGHT - WHEEL OF FORTUNE
