UNFIX FESTIVAL

UNFIX is an evolving festival of ecological performance and climate activism I set up in 2015 as a response to several of the themes explored within my work and life. As artistic director of the festival I view my job as the pulling together art forms, ideas, political strands, intuitions, spiritualities and commitments from diverse communities who may not already be talking to each other, but whom I believe are working towards similar ways of being, resisting, and loving. So far it has had six iterations in Glasgow as well as multiple events in New York City, Tokyo and Bologna.

UNFIX conceives individual human lives as a microcosm of the whole and takes climate change as the Trump Card fate is playing, a terrifyingly benevolent wake-up call that says WE CANNOT CONTINUE AS WE HAVE BEEN. We’re being called to go beyond ourselves as individuals and a species, to realise a new place for ourselves within the web of all life (or else). UNFIX is my main contribution to this shift.
