Taking the form of a two-screen video and audio installa on, Ma Stokes' new commission is inspired by Barry Hines’ produc on Threads, which portrayed a fi c onal cold-war nuclear a ack on Britain. years a er its original broadcast, Stokes envisions the impact of such an event on the human body, and its social and cultural consequences. Collabora ng with composer Ben Gaunt and a cast of

Sheffi eld-based vocalists, he depicts a transformed society in which archaic customs and systems prevail.In this futuris c world, the human voice and other func ons, have been aff ected by radia on sickness and environmental diseases. This manifests itself withtwo languages being spoken by two diff erent socie es. One society survives in a lamp-lit underworld, communica ng via a form of mutated English and clipped sounds, whilst the second lives in a scorched overground environment conversing via a form of tonal expression. Heard together the two diff erent groups produce confl ic ng vocal sounds, which as the work progresses, move closer to each other, from disharmony to harmony.On Saturday October at pm Sara Cluggish,

Curator will give a tour of the exhibi on.FREE Bookings via www.sitegallery.orgIn partnership with Film Hub North, led by Showroom Worksta on. Proud to be part of the BFI Film Audience Network.
