Oscillations

Knots Presents their first exhibition at ANNEX hosted by The Koppel Project in Elephant and Castle bringing together a network of artists, organisers, and learners for Oscillations.

With the rising influence of the far-right in the UK and beyond, Knots recognises the importance of engaging with performance not simply as a manner to present work, but to build relationships, exchange knowledge, and work in solidarity with our communities resisting authoritarianism and injustice.

The tide of oppression attempts to suffocate us: the working class, immigrants, queer and trans people. Yet it also pins the faults of capitalism onto us. We believe any and all privilege in our society must be used to further the waves of resistance against this fearmongering funded by the wealthy to separate us even further.

Our noise nights invite artists to encounter one another through an exchange of ideas and collaboration which builds relationships that continue after the performance ends. Oscillations stems from this ethos and invites artists to respond through visual mediums that speak to collaboration and resistance in shared history, local communities, familial lives, and the every day.
