Dig Me a Grave an artist lab at VSSL studio
28.09 - 29.09.2025

In this two-day artist lab led by Claye Bowler, we will  delve into the intersections of queer/trans/disabled experience, memory and materiality through engagement  with practices of casting, collecting and archiving.



The lab offers an in-depth exploration of Claye’s practice and current research which current investigates themes of forced waiting, using the symbol/metaphor/actual space of an open grave. Not dead, but also not quite alive enough to leave the grave. Activities tbc but prolly include: Looking & discussing Claye's and other artist's work, watching lil films, visiting a cemetery, digging holes, casting soil, having a nap, exploring folk songs, and more! 


This artist lab was offered as part of CEREMONY, a year-long programme of performances, exhibitions, artist labs and workshops exploring the function of performance as a modality for gathering, ritual and ceremony amidst the fragmentation of contemporary life. The CEREMONY programme was supported with public funds by Arts Council England.
