Scotland’s longest-standing artist-run gallery, established in 1983
The session brings together music from that time, a short live audio essay and informal conversation. The event looks at the many voices that shaped the sound, and the coded forms of resistance carried through music under political pressure.
Rather than treating popular music from that period as hedonistic or disposable, Bubblegum Resistance considers how sound can hold collective history, intergenerational memory, joy, and trauma in ways that continue to echo present time.
Time: 6pm
the escape ethereal // literal head detached from body // (ae) the space in the middle // self referral of brain licking // de-compartmentalisation of head & body // syntax, enunciation, etymology, diphthong, pronunciations, parts of a voice box.
Opening: July 17th, 6pm - 9pm, with performances starting at 7pm
Other times: 18th June - 2nd August 2-6pm.
Celebrating pride before sponsors, before the stages, before the corporate floats — when there was a brick, a bar, and a group of trans women, sex workers, working-class queers, gay PoC and gender non-conforming people who fought back.

While mathematics is commonly presented as abstract and symbolic, mathematical work is grounded in visual thinking, intuition, experimentation, and personal motivation. Diagrams, sketches, spatial reasoning, gestures, and informal representations often precede formal notation, yet these processes typically remain invisible to wider audiences.

Testing models for coexistence through active listening and voicing, the workshops explore challenges of sharing space, thoughts, and feelings using performative tools. Tara brings elements from her practice in vocal delivery, performative text, relaxed singing and writing, combined with using bodies in performance.
Tara Fatehi (Tehran, 1987) is a performance, voice, dance, and text artist. Politically charged and stuck with everyday banality, her works explore multi-vocality, unfinished-ness, ambiguity, and playfulness. Recent stages include Southbank Centre, V&A Museum, Nottdance, Montpellier Danse, ICA, Centquatre-Paris, Oslo Dansens Hus. She is the co-founder of From the Lips to the Moon music and poetry shows, author of Mishandled Archive a series of 365 public interventions (LADA, 2020), and vocalist of People of the Wind (Akazib, 2025). She was the first-ever resident artist at the United Nations Archives in Geneva (2021).
