Feat. The New Adolescents, Alex Culshaw, Ifeoluwa, James Jordan Johnson, Karolina Lebek, Jennifer Lauren Martin, utopian_realism, A- - -Z
Programmed by A- - -Z (Anne Duffau)
The New Adolescents began as a LARP session led by Theo Turpin and Lou Atessa, the premise: a group of teenagers meeting to make music in a surviving world that had suffered but was still standing after the Stop.
Their songs carry a sense of make-believe coming from another reality, still feeling urgent, fragile, and alive.
Onstage, The New Adolescents composed by Theo Turpin, Lou Atessa, Phil Serfaty, Kineret Lourie, Ariel Caine and Anne Duffau (A—Z) channel the same energy that first bound them together: performing and creating a world, sharing the comfort of belonging inside it.
Alex Culshaw’s practice spans moving image, sound, and live performance, exploring the emotional and political dimensions of narratives, memory, and collective experience. Often, she investigates the connections between labour, site, and identity, creating works that playfully disrupt encounters with moving image. Her work frequently revisits narratives through cyclical structures and aesthetic shifts, employing strategies such as re-staging documentary accounts or pixelating images to question what can and cannot be seen or heard. With subtle humour and live performance, Alex challenges cinematic and documentary conventions, using the unreliable narrator and meta-narratives to open space for discussion and reflection.
Alex graduated from the Royal College of Art with an MA in Sculpture – Moving Image (2017) and a BA in Art Practice from Goldsmiths (2012). Her work has been shown nationally and internationally, including at Avalon Cafe, London, for Fieldnoes Live (2025), The Pen Theatre, London, (2024), Whitechapel Gallery, London (2022), Aesthetica Short Film Festival (2021), Chicago Underground Film Festival, (2020), and Glasgow International Film Festival (2020). She co-curated and organised @av_cache and ‘Spectrum’ screening programme (2015-17).

As a writer their bylines are in VICE, The Wire, Resident Advisor and they were the guest editor for the Windrush 75 series for Mixmag.

As well as running INTERVENTION, free DJ workshops for marginalised individuals across the U.K. As a filmmaker, their experimental documentaries have been shown at the Turner Gallery, Darkroom Festival, UNTHINKABLE Festival and unda festival. With their practice centering on visual anthropological experimentations of the "everyday" and "mundane", with a love of the weird and wonderful quirks of both urban and rural Britain.
James Jordan Johnson is a London-based artist and DJ that uses field recordings, found sounds and text.
Karolina Lebek is an artist and musician based between London and Wroclaw, working across a range of media including video, photography, installation and live performance. Her practice, exploring interests in consciousness, ecology and mental health, gives new form to the exploration of the sacred, the ritual and the body, in context of geological time. Concerned with generational trauma, histories of migration and displacement, and the intersections between human artefacts, psychology, and ancestral knowledge, her work embraces a poetry of decay and transformation that rearranges history to shed new light on the present.
Jennifer Lauren Martin is a British-American artist filmmaker (writer/director) whose practice spans film, fine art and writing. Their work is materially and theoretically led and grapples with questions of interpersonal belonging.
