Artists Lorenza Peragine and Ivana Sehic talk about their project ‘I do this everyday: pass it on’, which encompassed a 30-min public performance with video projection on the streets of Shoreditch, London, and a 4-hour workshop at the ICA in December 2022. 

The artists begin by discussing the concepts behind the project: the ‘production of space’ and our response to instrutctions present in a public space. They then read and comment on some of the movement scores devised by the ICA workshop participants. In the last part, they discuss the project in relation to the politics of public spaces in London, and bring examples from their past work with Flock collective and their PhD research.

The project was produced in collaboration between the University of Roehampton, Colégio das Artes Coimbra (Portugal) and the ICA, with support from Santander.

In this conversation with Nicolas-Tyrell Scott, from the Town Hall conversations, Swindle talks about how he wrote a track with Kojey Radical, seeing more grime on mainstream TV, the different methods in writing for TV in Candice Carty-Williams' show Champion, and how he's never stopped learning.

What happens when powerful black women use their positionality to push their identity as cultural product or representational symbol, and how useful this is for the interests of working class Black women?

The recording was part of a series of Black feminist programmes exploring pleasure as a politics of refusal, recorded on 9 November 2019.
