1st February- 4-6pm: Dreaming of a neon night-scape
Irruptive Chora at Chalton Gallery

As a response to Irruptive Chora’s invitation, Diaspore is presenting an afternoon of performances and interventions exploring the symbiosis of relationships. Artists are invited to tell stories of the night, romance, remembering, togetherness and separation. This mood creates a space to reflect upon relationships – to the self, between two, a group, an entire ecosystem – in a moment where bodies can be at ease, vulnerable or vibrate together. Guest artists include: Lou Atessa, Natasha Cox, Jamie Green, RHO (Sara Rodrigues and Rodrigo B. Camacho), Theo Turpin and Markus Vater.

Tuesday 22 October 4.30pm -6pm: ‘RACO’ discussion about the precarious nature of working in the arts (be that as an arts organisers /artists /writer etc). At Can Serrat, El Bruc, Spain.

This is a meeting, facilitated by Natasha Cox, that aims to share stories and coping mechanisms – and to question the historical image of the ‘artist’. Together we will explore and share the practicalities and realities of a work/art/life balance – and map out possible ways of communicating these ideas to a wider group. Part of a ongoing series of discussions that take place at Can Serrat as part of the international residency program. To be published online as a podcast in the coming weeks.

19th October: Art Licks Weekend radio station, run in partnership with TACO! and RTM.

TAT were invited to contribute ‘Tile Pile’ by curators Lou Marcellin and Susannah Haslam to a broadcast exploring ‘the role that friendship plays in the making of art, its discourse, education and its infrastructuring and organisation’. The work ‘Tile Pile’ was performed as part of the Time Alone Together Residency by Natasha Cox and Jamie Hudson, Isobel Mei, Rob Shuttleworth and Penny Klein.

2-4th August 2019: Supernormal Festival.

Supernormal is a three-day, experimental arts and music festival taking place at Braziers Park in Oxfordshire. It offers a platform for artists, performers and musicians to work collaboratively and creatively for a new kind of audience seeking experiences out of the mainstream. It is determinedly small and intimate with an audience of 1,500. It has been born from a place that values the currency of ideas and imagination, as well as the inclusivity of artists and audiences alike, rather than commercialism and profit.

16th February: Talking With Neighbours – rethinking the institution at TATE EXCHANGE. Group workshop

Hosted by Theatrum Mundi

15.00 – 16.30
Enacting New Models – and keeping them going
How are different types of work – from the artists to the cleaning – acknowledge and valued in future organisations? Who gets to have a voice in these imaginings? And who’s doing the washing up?

A group session led by Eva Rowson and Natasha Cox to think about how to make small changes in our everyday work which can propose new models – and make it possible to sustain them. As workers in arts organisations we find ourselves replicating, often without realising, formats and behaviours behind the scenes that our public programmes and panel discussions claim to be re-thinking. Institutions and grant-makers set out to imagine ’radical’ new models, but tend to avoid re-thinking the structures which support them.

17th – 23rd September: BYE HUN, School of the Damned Handover, Royal Standard, Liverpool. 

BYE HUN symbolizes a swan song, an elegy, a passing of the torch, a graduation and a requiem. An end of year group show that included both the 2018 (outgoing!) and 2019 (incoming!) cohorts – a bringing together of ideas before parting ways. SOTD is a year-long alternative art course directed by its students. It was founded as a reaction to the increasing financialisation of higher education.
The school is constantly redefined by the motives of its students.

29th September: Tall Tales from an Artist Led Space, Cubitt Gallery, London

Through Your Eyes is a new moving image work and performance that restages a 35mm print from the Cubitt archive. This work considers the span of time at play within the archive and attempts the impossible, to embody the ‘spirit of’ a screening in the early years of this artist-led space, a context wholly altered. This durational work will trace the bodies who have occupied and shaped the identity of Cubitt, who have made up the figures that become so important in the ongoing cycle of their administration. These two moments fifteen years apart create a loop in the archive itself. In collaboration with Keira Greene. Full Info here

9th June 2018: Alternatives to the Alternative Art School, as part of Anti University .

At LARC (London Action Resource Centre), 62 Fieldgate Street, London E1 1ES

An open meeting, lead by a small group of educators, for the purpose of considering an alternative to the alternative art school model. This meeting will consider and conceive of a working hybrid education model to take forward to its realisation in the long term. It will do so through the facilitation of a series of parallel discussions (workshop style break-out) that will focus on specific organisational and infrastructural aspects of arts education broadly; value systems, sustainability, distributability, access. These parallel discussions will each be convened by an educator working with a particular subject focus/concern in/with the current arts education system, and include the participation of an undefined group of interested individuals.

Organised with Dr Susannah Haslam.
