What you’ll do 

Join artist Moi Tran and members of the Voice of Domestic Workers for an informal performance that explores caregiving through collective clapping, sound, movement and vibrations.

Inspired by the newly commissioned installation ‘Care Chains (Love will continue to resonate)’ in our major exhibition ‘Hard Graft: Work, Health and Rights’, this event highlights the often unseen labour of caregivers and the profound impact of their acts of kindness.

After the performance there will be a Q&A, followed by a 45-minute interactive workshop on performance-making led by Moi Tran, co-facilitator Natasha Lohan, trombonist Rosie Turton, and cellist Zosia Jagodzinska.

About your contributors

Moi Tran

Artist

Moi Tran employs research, theatre, text, sound, installation, video and performance to examine theorisations on the politics of emotional reckoning and states of displaced feeling. Tran’s work probes encounters of witnessing in events of fugitive performativity and the politics of sound as critical record. Her interests in alternative modes of communication have produced experiments for imagining and performing counternarratives inside and outside archives of information. She works with collaborators from diverse walks of life to reimagine performance-making.

The Voice of Domestic Workers

Performer

The Voice of Domestic Workers (VODW) is a London-based education and support group calling for justice and rights for Britain’s migrant domestic workers. Founded in 2009 and established as a charity in 2017, VODW seeks to end discrimination and protect migrant domestic workers living in the UK by providing or assisting in the provision of education, training and healthcare to the community. Together with this, they campaign energetically for governmental policy change in respect of workers’ rights. VODW is a powerful example of a community with lived experience in many of the problems associated with modern slavery today. They combine their unique perspective with the practical development of important skills and self-confidence, enabling their members to tell their own stories and become effective advocates for their cause.

Natasha Lohan

Natasha Lohan is a vocalist, composer and arts and health facilitator. An embodied approach to voicework fuels her collaborations with people to promote good health, connection and creative agency in groups of all ages.

Natasha is also a researcher specialising in creative arts for older adults, singing for lung health and chronic pain, and mentors students and early-careers artists in participatory arts facilitation.

Rosie Turton

Musician

Cited by the Guardian as “one to watch” and nominated for Jazz FM’s Breakthrough Act of the Year, trombonist, composer and producer Rosie Turton continues her rise since releasing her debut, ‘Rosie’s 5ive’, with Jazz Re:freshed. Rosie’s music tells the tales of meditative soundscapes and improvisations, blurring the lines between the acoustic and electronic universes. Rosie’s musicality is unbound by genre as she moves from collaborations with collective Nérija to performing and recording with Nu Civilisation Orchestra, Camilla George, Soweto Kinch, Nwando Ebizie, Matters Unknown, Dan Samsa, and Soul II Soul.
