The Phreaking Collective is collaborating with Peckham Oasis to host a curated night of computational art films in their brand-new screening space. The night celebrates independent filmmakers across London working with new forms of storytelling, production, and technology. From the data-scare future of precious and passed-down storage devices in Clara’s Harddrive, to intergalactic dreamgivers in Oneirokritikon, to an alien bacteria crossing a neverending landscape in A Fox Ate My Favourite Knickers, and a ballet of necromancy, birth, and transformation in Flowers of Flesh and Blood, each film creates a unique world that both reflects and dulls our contemporary reality. Come along and immerse yourself in these worlds, and learn first hand from the filmmakers themselves through an open-ended discussion with the audience :) Event details: ⏰Thursday 8th October, 6:00 - 9:00 PM 📍Peckham Oasis Gallery, Unit 4/5, Dovedale trading estate, London SE15 4QN Tickets in bio! poster by @rosekessler_ “A Fox Ate My Favourite Knickers” by @_frangry_ An alien bacteria traverses across an even more alien landscape; a 3d scan of the artist's naked body, covered in computationally grown lichen and scattered with the letters from the poem that exists within the soundscape. The text takes inspiration from a recurrent interaction with a local neighbourhood fox who has taken a liking to the human residents' favourite garments. The interactions collapse the space between them - fox and human - decimating imagined hierarchies. It considers the overlaps between their intimate ecologies and of the deep networks that entangle all things. Written, directed & animated by Fran Hayes Music and sound design by Fran Hayes & ALEXANDER ALIEN “FLOWERS OF FLESH AND BLOOD” by @xovereyn Flowers of Flesh and Blood is a ballet-inspired digital folk horror film, using unreal engine and motion capture technology to bring to life a simulated ritual involving the summoning of a Goddess, necromancy, birth, sacrifice, decay, cannibalism, and transformation. Drawing upon the folklore of fertility rites and rituals from the ancient pagan world, Flowers of Flesh and Blood seeks to realign the human e

Have you heard about the INFERNO Community? INFERNO has always been, and will always be, rooted in nightlife. We create raves for trans people, queer people, our allies and our wider community to come together, express ourselves freely, dance, explore underground music and culture, and experience the transformative power of the dancefloor. But we asked you what you needed from us. In a time when our communities are facing increasing hostility, systemic erasure and attacks from governments and institutions, you told us you wanted more. More ways to connect outside the club. More intentional spaces to meet in the daytime. More opportunities to make, create, learn and share. More holistic experiences. More gentle, slower ways of being together. So we listened. And we created the INFERNO Community. A softer space for queer people to connect outside of nightlife. This month, we’re coming together for a New Moon Manifestation gathering and a Queer Life Drawing session, alongside more workshops, creative practices, conversations and ways to connect as the Community continues to grow. This isn’t a replacement for the rave. It’s what happens when the lights come up. If this sounds exciting to you, or you’d like more information, follow the link in our bio to learn more and sign up to the INFERNO Community today. We have three tiers ÂŁ5 a month which allows you to access our monthly socials, ÂŁ15 a month which allows you to access workshops and socials and a ÂŁ25 solidarity tier for those in our community who have the capacity to support the work that we do, as a small team of working class trans people who are working hard to tend the vital INFERNO ecosystem. As always if money is a barrier for you accessing the spaces that we’re creating just send us a DM and let’s have a conversation, INFERNO is for you. Come help us shape what comes next.

đŸ”„There are moments in history that ask something of us. This is one of them.đŸ”„ Across the UK, we’re witnessing an escalating campaign of hostility towards trans people. From the Supreme Court ruling and the EHRC’s guidance, to relentless media scapegoating and the erosion of our rights, dignity and safety, trans lives are being treated as political bargaining chips. Many trans people and advocacy organisations have warned that these changes risk increasing exclusion from everyday public life, medical abandonment, violence and death. We know these attacks don’t end with trans people, they erode the basic human rights of so many. The same politics seeks to divide us from migrants and refugees, Black and brown communities, disabled people and anyone whose existence challenges an increasingly unequal and broken version of society. Our liberation has always been connected. If you’re an ally, this is your moment. Not just to post. Not just to agree. But to stand beside us. To march. To organise. To protect one another. To refuse to let trans people carry this weight alone. Join us this Saturday at 1pm, Langham Place, for @londontranspride , the world’s largest Trans+ Pride march. Bring your friends. Bring your family. Bring your chosen family. Bring your placards. Bring your voice. Look after one another. Share water. Check in on the people around you. Stay together. Care is one of the most radical things we can practise. Then, when the protest ends, our celebration begins. We’re honoured to be hosting the London Trans+ Pride After Party, created by an all-trans team, with an all-trans line-up of DJs and performers. After a day of resistance, we’ll come together for something ecstatic, transcendent and unapologetically joyful. Because our resistance deserves celebration too. If you want to support trans people, support trans culture. Show up. Buy a ticket. Dance with us. Help us keep building the spaces our communities deserve. Tickets for the after-party are available now via the link in our bio. We’ll see you on the streets. We’ll see you on the dancefloor. Solidarity isn’t something you say, it’s something you do!

What if raving could teach us how to build a better world? Over the past eleven years, that’s the question we’ve kept coming back to. When people think about nightlife, they often think about music, hedonism or escapism. But we’ve learnt that the dancefloor can be so much more than that. It’s where strangers become friends. Where people find the confidence to be themselves for the first time. Where we practise consent, accountability, compassion and collective care. Where we discover that the atmosphere isn’t created by the DJ or the lighting, but by every single person in the room. The longer we’ve been building INFERNO, the more we’ve realised this isn’t really a guide about raving. It’s a guide about community. It’s about what happens when hundreds of people choose to look after one another, celebrate one another and build something bigger than themselves. It’s also the guide we wish someone had handed to us before we first stepped into queer nightlife. Every September, thousands of people arrive in cities like London and experience queer nightlife for the first time. Others return after years away. Some begin organising their own parties, collectives or community projects. We wanted to gather everything we’ve learnt over the last decade into one place and pass it on. The result is The INFERNO Guide to Raving. A free 100-page publication exploring care, community and the future of queer nightlife. If even one idea inside helps someone feel more confident, more connected or inspires them to build something beautiful in their own community, then it has done exactly what we hoped. You can download your free copy at: www.infernolondon.com/guide And if you’d like to experience these ideas on the dancefloor, we’ll be celebrating London Trans+ Pride next Saturday 25th July at our annual afterparty. We’d love to dance with you. đŸŽŸïž Tickets: https://inferno.eventcube.io/events/94047/inferno-london-trans-pride-afterparty or via the link in our bio

They are DJs, performers, artists, organisers, dancers, friends, first-timers and familiar faces. They are some of the trans people who have shaped INFERNO over the years, on stage, behind the scenes and in the crowd. INFERNO has been queer and trans-led from the very beginning. Everything we’ve built has come from people showing up for one another, making room for creativity, care, self-expression and collective joy. Our dancefloors have never just been about music. They’ve been places where people meet, find belonging, imagine new futures and remind each other that we are never alone. London Trans+ Pride is part of that story. It was born through people coming together to create something they needed. Queer and trans nightlife has always played a role in that, not just as somewhere to celebrate, but as somewhere to organise, connect and care for one another. At a time when trans people across the UK are facing relentless hostility, gathering together feels more important than ever. There is something incredibly powerful about seeing thousands of trans people, alongside friends, families, allies and our wider queer community, filling the streets with joy. In a world that so often tells us we don’t belong, showing up for one another is a radical act. It reminds us that we have always been here, and we always will be. To every trans person who has played at INFERNO, performed with us, worked behind the scenes, danced with us or helped shape this platform in ways big and small, thank you. You are part of INFERNO’s story, and we wouldn’t be here without you. If you’re joining London Trans+ Pride, we’ll see you at 1pm at Langham Place, near the BBC. Then from 11pm until 5am, we’re honoured to host our very first London Trans+ Pride After Party at The Distillery at 17. It feels incredibly special to hold this celebration with the people who make INFERNO what it is. Whether you’ve been with us for years or this is your first time, we’d love to celebrate with you. Happy London Trans+ Pride. This one is for every trans person in our orbit. đŸłïžâ€âš§ïžâ€ïž Images by @willixmkennedy @d_r_e_w_h_o_g_g
