Décalé = 1 year! So we would like to make it more special than ever. For this reason, we are joining forces with our friends Jupiter Woods, a South East London art organisation, to co-curate an invigorating programme of live acts, screening and DJ sets that are uncompromising and forward-thinking. And we are doing it at one of our favorite venue: Ormside Projects!

▶ HANNAH CATHERINE JONES
http://foxymoron.co.uk/

▶ YAYA BONES
https://soundcloud.com/ayesha-tan-jones
YaYa Bones is the musical moniker of multi-disciplinary artist Ayesha Tan Jones. Coining their genre 'dream n bass', YaYa Bones makes protest music for witches, fusing operatic melodies and earthcore beats.
▶MARIKISCRYCRYCRY
marikiscrycry is the performance project of London-based choreographer and artist Malik Nashad Sharpe, born in 1992 in New York City. They make emotional choreographies that are less like descriptors of themes and more like worlds in themselves. Their work deals primarily with the social imprints and inflections left on the body, existentialism, the necessity to proliferate pro-Queer and pro-Black aesthetics under neoliberal hegemonies, choreography as an expanded formal proposition, and allostatic load.
▶TABITA REZAIRE
https://www.tabitarezaire.com/
Tabita Rezaire is infinity incarnated into an agent of healing, who uses art as a mean to unfold the soul. Her cross-dimensional practices envision network sciences - organic, electronic and spiritual - as healing technologies to serve the shift towards heart consciousness. Tabita is based in Cayenne, French Guyana and is a founding member of the artist group NTU, half of the duo Malaxa, and the mother of the energy house SENEB.
▶CHOOC LY

Not limited by a specific genre, though a penchant for electronic and club music. Chooc Ly's DJ sets present a varied selection forging astral connections through spectrums of Techno, Kuduro, futuristic Chaabi الشعبي, high-voltage Electro, Hip hop, Qgom through to fusions we haven’t found names for yet.

ABOUT DÉCALÉ
‘When dusk arises, agitated spirits awake
A night on planet earth, Décalé
A platform for nocturnal creatures and loud existential insurgents
Disobedient children will come together and rise from the dark to encounter experimental collapsing,
flawless sounds, visuals and people. Together they will declare the unspoken, and embrace the hybrid and reactive nature of their collective experience.
Together, we rewrite reality now, against distorted norms, for an alternate tomorrow.’
Décalé’s mission is to create a safe and fun space for nocturnal creatures, in an environment animated by visuals and uncompromising sound. The collective want to break down fences and boundaries in an ever-inclusive atmosphere.
There is no tolerance for unethical, racist, homophobic, transphobic or any other abusive behaviors.
