As part of the 2024 Flatpack film festival, we, along with students from the University of Birmingham, presented a screening of Babeworld’s ‘Derby Day’, 2023, at Mockingbird Cinema. This screening was followed by a Q&A with the collective, hosted by cultural producer and founder of independent nomadic platform A—Z, Anne Duffau.

This podcast was created as part of Unmasking || Remapping, a series of events designed in collaboration with students from the MA Art History and Curating course at the University of Birmingham. The programme is curated in response to themes of neurodiversity and inclusivity, drawn from Babeworld’s exhibition ‘Love is Real, and its Inside Of My Computer’.

ExhibitionsInside

a landscape film still taken from Babeworld’s ‘Derby Day’. At the centre of the image, a small blow up man lies on the grey floor in a corridor through a doorway. The smiling face of the man is distorted by the shape of the inflatable, and his body clad in a white t-shirt and black trousers is cartoonish. The low position of the camera provides a clear view of the stacks of DVDs, clothes, figurines, and yellow lighter also lying on the floor in the room before the corridor. Behind the inflatable figure, through a second doorway, part of a cluttered living room is visible.

a landscape image of a figure dressed in a black tasseled outfit, a brightly coloured harness around their chest and shoulders, a black leather beret, and a pink mask that covers the entirety of their face. The figure has their arms raised and the tassels of the outfit fly outwards, as if in the middle of dancing. The figure is surrounded by pastel toned fabrics in shades of pink, blue, green, and yellow, that hang from the ceiling.
