‘Sing, O
muse, of the rave of Greek Trash, son of Deep Trash,
that
brought countless thrills upon the Londonians…’
-
Homer, The Queeriad
Get the feathers out and roll in the wax… the long-awaited Deep Trash
exhibition-cum-performance club night is back in 2016 with an event entirely
dedicated to Hellenic cultures, myths and contemporary politics across art,
videos, performance and music for your Zorba feet!
Bring
your Herculean guns, sons, and catamite funs down to the Working Men’s Club. Greek Trash
demands the rejoining of other halves, the taking of Olympus, and refugee solidarity across borders. GREEK TRASH is
here to destabilise your holiday plans and bring you a sizzling taste of all
things Greek under London’s grey skies.
Expect: Homophilosophy,
subversive bouzoukia, the bubbly birthing of Aphrodite, camp Cavafy readings, a
‘coming out as an octopus’, contemporary Medusas, queer & fluo post-punk Easter
actions, Herculean and Androgyne bodies, a ‘Greek Crisis Cunt Cinema’, and our VERY
SPECIAL guest star from Athens: ANNA GOULA!
MUSIC: A Man To Pet
(Host) / Panos Z (HOMO SUPERIOR)
An eclectic mix of queer
artists and icons across the decades (from Dusty Springfield and Ramones to
Peaches and Grimes), with a “let’s have a tzatziki” pop & disco finale! A
selection of Greek tracks will make your night even more… OPA!

DEEP TRASH MANIFESTO:
▪
Deep Trash is the only regular
exhibition-cum-performance-club-night promoting queer and feminist arts from
all disciplines taking place in London.
▪
Deep Trash remains a fundraiser night for the
activities of CUNTemporary and Archivio Queer Italia. Nevertheless, we ensure
that artistic expenses are covered.
▪
Deep Trash launches a specific open call before each
event for a fairer artistic participation and selection. The works and artists
accepted will be consistent with the intersections of feminist-queer practice.
▪
Deep Trash adopts an inclusive political stance, with
zero tolerance for discrimination of any sort.
▪
Deep Trash aims at showcasing the work of both
emerging and established practitioners in order to create an intersectional,
intergenerational and transcultural dialogue.
▪
Deep Trash is especially committed to promoting
performance art in order to encourage and strengthen research within current
artistic discourses.
▪
Deep Trash provides a safe space where works of a
difficult and challenging nature can be presented, documented, discussed,
enjoyed and reviewed.
▪
Deep Trash understands sex as an inextricable part of
what we do, who we are and where we come from. We support art and politics
which are organized around sex. That is, the deprivatization of sex, the
decriminalization of sex work, visible non-normative sexualities and non-binary
gender identities, the end of sexual violence and the promotion of consensual
sexual practices.
▪
Deep Trash insists that as artists and audiences, we
need more safe and inclusive spaces where people can come together to create,
share, experience, discuss, be affected, be flirted, stimulated, challenged and
most importantly, EMPOWERED.
