Accompanying Imogen Stidworthy’s exhibition ‘Skydde’, is ‘Radical Audio Guides’, a co-creative project presented in the Etc. Space at Matt’s Gallery, bringing together six responses to the installation given by artists Immanuel Adelowo, Saja Altamimi, Louis Caseley, James Heath, Sonny Nwachukwu and Delson Weekes.

Exhibition continues until 22 November 2026
Wednesday - Sunday, 12 - 6pm

‘Radical Audio Guides’ evolved through a series of workshops held at Matt’s Gallery with Stidworthy over 2026. Their responses are voiced through word, non-verbal utterance, gesture, mark-making, dance and music. They are shaped by different ways of being and sense-making and are presented in different forms, embracing the multitude of ways of communicating embodied by the group. Each response is offered as a guide along a unique path into the work.

‘Many people embody different forms of voicing; they may communicate through gesture or rhythm. I wanted there to be a real range of forms of voicing among the participants so that we could learn about and attune ourselves to different ways of communicating. This puts everyone in a position of both equal vulnerability and equal expertise.’

-Imogen Stidworthy, 2026

‘Radical Audio Guides’ is supported by Wandsworth Borough Council. It is a London Borough of Culture legacy project and was developed in partnership with ActionSpace and BLINK Dance Theatre. With thanks to National Lottery Players.

Reminder: The completed Critical Affection Trilogy (2021-2026) by Michelle Williams Gamaker, will be screened together for the first time next week at the Barbican Cinema, London.

Screening: Wed 7 Oct 2026, 18:20

Book now via the Barbican Website, follow the link in the bio Matt's Gallery

Following the screening, Michelle Williams Gamaker will be in a fifteen minute conversation with Dr Kulraj Phullar.

The Critical Affection Trilogy comprises Strange Evidence (2026), filmed and premiered at Matt’s Gallery across 2025-2026, Thieves (2023), and The Bang Straws (2021). Across these films, the artist reimagines critical alternatives to colonial and imperialist storytelling in early 20th-century British and Hollywood studio films.

Williams Gamaker’s latest film, Strange Evidence (2025, 30 mins), is a genre bending Body Horror/Film Noir, focusing on the 1930s British/Hollywood screen star Merle Oberon, who kept her mixed Sri Lankan, Indian and British heritage secret to protect her industry status. Through what Williams Gamaker calls Fictional Healing, the film offers a speculative exploration of Oberon’s self-censorship, examining the racial stigma, trauma and industry pressures that shaped her choices.

Read more about Thieves (2023, 27mins 27secs), and The Bang Straws (2021, 17mins, 11secs) in the programme following the booking link.

Standard Tickets are £15.50
