BODY CALLS: Laments for the flesh | Lily Potger

Following their Outer Space x Performance Space Experimental Performance Art Residency Lily Potger presents BODY CALLS: Laments for the flesh alongside artist Nadeem Tiafau Eshraghi.

Developed across Gadigal/Sydney and Magandjin/Brisbane, Lily’s research explores the ways we communicate, connect and exist alongside one another. Through experimentation with brass, breath, sound, movement and material, their practice considers the relationships between bodies, objects, histories and other species.

Bringing together acts of making, listening and collective attention, Lily invites us to slow down, notice what often goes unseen and consider the subtle ways we signal, respond and connect.

For this special presentation, Lily will be joined by Nadeem Tiafau Eshraghi, whose practice spans installation, sound and improvisation, exploring cultural knowledge, memory and ancestral connections.

Come along to experience an evening of experimental performance and collective witnessing, as this period of research and exploration takes form in a shared space.

We look forward to experiencing it with you.

Outer Space are thrilled to be collaborating with Wreckers Artspace to present this performance.

About the Artists

Lily Potger

Lily Potger is a performing artist whose practice uses devised scores and embodiment to explore personal and social landscapes. Drawing on relational experiences with people, objects, histories and other species, their work invites audiences to engage with the complexities, undercurrents and nuances of everyday existence in so-called Australia.

Nadeem Tiafau Eshraghi

Nadeem Tiafau Eshraghi (Tagata Sāmoa, Persian) is an artist living and working between Naarm/Melbourne, Meanjin/Brisbane and Samoa. Their practice delves into cultural knowledge and memory, both lived and inherited, to navigate nuanced modes and mutations of the dispersed. Through installation, sound and improvisation, they create environments that (re)position timelines and bodies, channel ancestral echoes and distil ceremonial performance.

All bar proceeds go directly towards supporting independent artists, experimental art practices and the creative spaces that make this work possible. By attending, you're helping sustain the artists and organisations contributing to a vibrant, independent arts community.
