Tse Tse Fly Middle East x Reprieve

Experimental arts platform Tse Tse Fly Middle East presents a night of short films and live performances in association with Reprieve, the non-profit organisation that fights for the victims of extreme human rights abuses. Reprieve supports those facing execution, and those victimised by states' abusive counter-terror policies. Taking place at the OSO Arts Centre in Barnes, the event features live sets from folk/oud duo Catherine Earnshaw & storywheel and Iranian experimental musician Pouya Ehsaei.

The evening will start with a screening of short experimental films by practitioners from the Middle East, Africa and the Indian subcontinent, and is followed by a talk from a caseworker from Reprieve. Then Catherine Earnshaw & storywheel, and Pouya Ehsaei take the stage. Information and merchandise from Reprieve will be available onsite, along with merchandise and artwork from Tse Tse Fly Middle East and the performers. Furthermore the evening will contribute to the global 'Silence Was Golden' art movement that centres around words or phrases (made out of golden letter-shaped balloons) that are chosen by performers to express their work.
