Performance: FOMO, MOFOS! (Fear Of Missing Out, Motherf***ers!) - Mary Pearson

A kaleidoscopic meditation on the digital age state of being. Modern myth, cautionary tale, and cinematic visual feast.

FoMO, mofos! is a dreamlike reflection on the consequences of hyper-connectivity and continuous self-exposure. Passing through cult classic films Blow-up and Mullholland Drive and the songs of Robert Wyatt, Kraftwerk and John Lennon, it explores vigilance, rootlessness, and the human animal's desire to conquer time and space.

Running time: 60 mins £10/£7 Discounts available via the Artory App and free to Plymouth University students via SPiA....

Performance: We are Ian by In Bed with My Brother

1989. Manchester. A frenzy of drugs, beats and bucket hats. Illegal raves. Acid parties. Just jumping up and down in a field and throwing two fingers to Thatcher… Remember it? Because we don’t. We weren’t even born. But Ian was. And Ian does remember. We’ve got f*ck all now (Ian tells us). So, we’re going back to 1989. We’re gonna neck a brown biscuit. We’re gonna get off our peanuts. We’re gonna bounce around like idiots. And Ian’s going to show us how. We’re mad fer it. And you will be too. Let’s party.

Talk: Policing the Blackshirts in the South West

The political activism of Sir Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists (the Blackshirts) presented many problems for the police during the interwar period. Although the police were often accused of defending fascist activism, while oppressing communist and anti-fascist activism, the reality is much more multifaceted.

Utilising examples from Plymouth and Exeter, Dr Iain Channing, Lecturer in Criminology at Plymouth University, highlights the inconsistencies in policing practices, providing cultural, legal and practical explanations.
