“This is seriously good” Tom Ravenscroft (BBC 6 Music)

“Wow….that was a trip!” Worm Disco Club

With support from saxophonist and composer Lara Jones.

“Lara threads energetic layers of improvised electronics inspired by 90s big beat classics, and her own sampled voice projecting a sense of fragility and defiance in equal measure. Really powerful stuff.” Gazelle Twin

Polish Fashion Stories: Unexpected Encounter – Batik

The earliest known examples of Polish batiks appeared around 1903 at an exhibition in Kraków, when the artist Jan Bukowski presented furniture upholstered in textiles decorated with what was called then “a manner of Easter eggs” - it was before the term batik had even entered the Polish language. From this point, other Kraków artists began to further explore the technique and its possibilities.
