More information about undercurrent Performance and Sound Art Festival tickets

undercurrent is a one-day festival dedicated to platforming East and Southeast Asian (ESEA) artists working in performance and sound art—disciplines often overlooked within the mainstream contemporary art world. Taking place at Copeland Gallery, London, the festival features 13 ESEA artists/artist group across a dynamic programme of live performances, sound works, DJ sets, and an exhibition.

At the heart of the festival are performances exploring heritage, integration, and the here and now, drawing out how ESEA identities are lived, questioned, and transformed through sonic and performative practices. These works span experimental sound, body-based performance, voice, movement, and cross-media installations, offering audiences a critical and immersive experience.

The event also includes an exhibition space presenting materials used in the live works and sonic installations parallel to the performances, allowing audiences to engage more deeply with each artist’s context, methodology, and research. The festival culminates in a high-energy ESEA DJ Night, presented in collaboration with Myna Stage and Half East Records as music event collaborators.

We are grateful to have the support of our collaborators and partners who make this festival possible. Our music event collaborators, Myna Stage and Half East Records, bring energy and vision to the programme. Zenegeist joins us as our promotional partner, helping to extend the festival’s reach. Our hospitality partners, Circle Thirteen and Calico Coffee, keep our audiences and artists nourished and welcomed throughout the day. Finally, we are proud to be sponsored by Shede Spirits and Perfume Trees, whose generosity helps undercurrent thrive.
