Our curational statement!

Why this festival?
Why now?
Why are we In Spite?

Joining our three curatorial strands of thinking we are creatinga festival that brings people and art together In Spite of everything happening in the world.

Ticket link in bio ‼️

Image description:
Slide one is a title page with text in a typewriter style font saying ‘curatorial statement’. The background is a collage of flowery green wallpaper in the bottom left corner. The top half of the collage is space themed with stars in the top right corner and a satellite in the top left. All paper is torn to create the collage effect.

Slide two has a black and white mouth with text reading: ‘As Pulling Teeth Collective, whenever we have an opportunity to create, it co-exists with a responsibility to confront and to address. In Spite of the rise of fascism, the criminalisation of protest and the lack of faith in the arts as a tool for change; too often do the undercurrents of stories and communities that sustain us go unacknowledged. Our bodies are still here; our hearts are still pulsing.
Therefore, we beckon you into our ecosystem, to recognise you as vital to our resistance. To absorb is to embrace; more of a hug then a grab. Through this ecosystem, we recognise forms of resistance that aren’t only angry but are built within communities who prioritise togetherness, showing up for each other and radical expression.’

The third slide reads:
‘In Spite Festival brings together sound, installation, film, performance and sculpture to unite communities through art. This festival explores harmony in communal knots of resistance, and the undeniable strength of tying different practices. In defining our curatorial vision, we introduce you to three strands of thinking: Confronting Narratives, Queer ecological futures and Sonic interventions.
We are here In Spite of and we ask you to embrace “Living lovingly and knowingly in the messes we co-create” (Ratliff, 2023)
Pulling Teeth Collective’’

LONDON! 🇬🇧 For one night only, a white gay man named Jake Schroeder AKA @frostedjake explains everything. From rotisserie chicken to SOHCAHTOA to Luigi Mangione, from Iran to sauvignon blanc to package theft, this white gay man covers it all. He’s white, gay, and man. Is it mansplaining? Yes. But much, much cuter because it’s a musical! 💋 🎤

The fabulous @kerryfdr who is one of the directors of Folk Dance Remixed went to work on the Strictly Cabaret ‘May Day’ afternoon for seniors @hoxtonhall with @hackneycircle & the team at Hoxton. As you can see by these brilliant photos Kerry created a wonderful workshop for their bespoke Maypole which was dreamt up by Poppy who runs the event! Much, much fun was had by all , it brought a smile to everyone’s face and really brought them together in a beautiful way 🥰
The host @topsieredfern did a marvellous job too! Thanks to all the team at Hoxton Hall.
We hope we’ll be back soon to spread some more joy 🥳🥳🥳☀️☀️☀️

#GetToKnow: @dirtyblonddd

For Fans Of: @saerows, @charlienoordewier, @orlychorly

Corey Sanders, aka Dirty Blond, stepped up to the mic at a recent sold-out gig with a grin and a warning. “Are you having a good night? Good — because I’m going to ruin it.” The crowd laughed. Then he played.

And instead of killing the mood, he tightened it —a roomful of strangers locked into the same feeling, singing back every bruised lyric like it belonged to them. That’s the trick: the heavier the heartbreak, the stronger the connection. In Corey’s hands, melancholia doesn’t isolate, it unites.

That tension — sorrow turning into connection — sits at the heart of Dirty Blond. The songs are bruised and vulnerable, but in a live setting they feel expansive, even euphoric. There’s comfort in the candour, in the shared recognition of something difficult but true. It’s no surprise that audiences keep growing,
both in rooms and online.

Hailing from Wales — “the land of music and magic,” as he fondly calls it — Corey has been steadily building towards this moment. With an album due later this year, he’s been sharing a run of stripped�back sad songs on TikTok, quietly amassing tens of millions of likes and an increasingly devoted following. The online rise tells one story. The real one, though, is happening in real time, in packed-out venues where heartbreak somehow makes everyone feel a little less alone.

Catch @dirtyblonddd London headline show at @hoxtonhall this June 30th. Tickets are on sale now.
