A MULTI-artform festival focusing on climate change and other challenges of the 21st century comes to Glasgow’s Centre for Contemporary Arts next weekend.

Through performances, screenings, discussions and workshops, which organisers describe as “insightful, difficult, thorny, beautiful”, UNFIX festival aims to investigate ecological crises and how positive change might begin to happen.

Organisers describe the idea behind UNFIX as each individual being a “microcosm of the whole” and that “climate change and ecological transformation are happening inside your body, RIGHT NOW”.

The festival, which is directed by Glasgow-based artist Paul Michael Henry, has previously staged events in New York and Tokyo. Next week’s three-day festival at CCA sees Henry join forces with producers Feral Arts for a programme featuring Scots artists such as Christiana Bissett and Alberta Whittle with international artists and activists such as Minako Seki (pictured), a Japanese Butoh master based in Berlin.

The UNFIX team says Seki’s performance, which is titled Human Form, shows how Butoh “offers a kind of ‘embodied ecological knowledge’ and a key referent for how UNFIX seeks to fuse performance and ecological activism.”

Henry says: “Ecology is the grand theme of our times, uniting not only climate change and the crisis of the Anthropocene but the various flows of consumerism, ageing and death, economics, mental health, soul and imagination.”

Tickets to UNFIX are on a sliding scale based on ability to pay. See the UNFIX website for guidance on how to estimate what to pay. The festival has a small allocation of free tickets for those who could otherwise not attend available by emailing unfixfestival@gmail.com.
