CURRENT PROJECTS
TRY WALKING IN MY HOOVES
Art walk with mini concert
Saturday 8th October 2022 5pm
Newcastle upon Tyne
Soya the Cow takes the audience on a philosophical walk through the city. Soya the Cow invites a change of perspective that challenges visual habits and self-image. In a playful and musical way, she calls for a new constitution of the relationship between humans and other animals, based on our common animality.
PERFORMANCE IN ANIMAL RIGHTS ROUNDTABLE
Monday 10th October 2022 6pm to 8pm
Online Panel
We will hear from drag artist Daniel Hellmann, singer/songwriters Barbara Helen and Jen Armstrong, direct action organiser Harley McDonald-Eckersall, and performance artist and researcher Ben Hunt - facilitated and hosted by culture commentator and activist Leigh Venus.
THE PLAGUE DOGS
Shadow Puppet Show for Schools
An shadow puppet adaptation of Richard Adams' The Plague Dogs. Designed for both primary and secondary school students, the show is accompanied by a puppetry workshop and scheme of work. This project explores the lives of animals raised for testing, and their agency for life.
