Kat Hudson: Resurrection

April 11, 2017 admin
window-2.jpg

‘Resurrection’ by Kat Hudson - Oil paint on 1m x 2m wooden canvas. Following on from Kat’s Living Dead series (shown last Summer at The Retro Gallery) ‘Resurrection’ is a celebration of the collective voices of our community, standing up against segregation and hatred fuelled by our current political climate. The piece and ideas behind it were a catalyst for group exhibition and club night FAT LiP which will be returning to VFD very soon.

See more of Kat’s work on her website: kathudson.co.uk and on Instagram @kathudson

Dirtbox-wide-06.jpg

Dirtbox party returns for a May outing. It’s time to get hot and bothered again at that sexy disco sauna with a deep breath of amyl to loosen you up. The residents Gibson and The Duchess of Pork take over night bringing you heavy loads of House, Techno, Rave classics and whatever else they fancy to get your treasure trails in a twist.

Those dark corners can’t wait to have you back, so throw on your jockstrap, put on your harness and give that moustache a little trim and descend those stairs into our basement of fun.

Sunday-Funday-Mayhem-30.4.17.jpg

Uh oh, it's been barely moments since the country reeled in disbelief after the last Fun~Fest, but it's May, and with May you get snap decisions, so we're throwing another "SNAP" SUNDAY~FUNDAY!!!! And you better be ready for the MAYhem! Whether you're tuning into your ancient pagan fun-calendar, or trying to tune out of the political murk, SUNDAY~FUNDAY is the destination we all need to remind us that life is for the FUN of it! So come and be wild, free, colourful and queer! Watch shows, dance, play games, drink and celebrate the gift of the May~Day mirth!

We've got your fave DJ squad Tete Bang and Lewis G Burton, as well as rad international DJ superstar Gaff-E will be gracing our basement with disco offerings!

Plus we couldn't forget to give you a late night drag show loaded with the most outrageous, gag-worthy tricks and turns from East London gutter rats!

And after the success of last year we couldn't not have a return of the human may-pole, a spot of Morris dancing plus the yearly crowning of the VFD May Queen 👸🏼

So get your bank holiday bums down to VFD, the basement of dreams, and let's show May that FUN is a political act!!!

*SUNDAY~FUNDAY shares no political standpoint and has no affiliation with the current government. However, parody May costumes are funny and encouraged! 🐍
