Babeworld 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️♾️

A film we made ‘Roll for Initiative’ for @disabilityarts is able to view online at the link in our bio. It’s about dice, games, rambles, art, hating art, making art, masking, disability, being online, being offline, being in line bla bla bla. Go watch!

🔉💫🌠📡 Next Friday 8th May 5.30pm we will host The Stars Below show with special guests: @babeworld3000 @ashywills_ @gobby.divvies live in @resonancefm studios Babeworld are an art collective based across Stoke-on-Trent and London. Babeworld’s work entangles popular-culture inspired film, installation and sound design to interrogate themes of political and societal identity, disability/access, neurodivergence, sex work and race. Babeworlds research explores what it means to make, participate in andspectate art as marginalised individuals. Babeworld are consistently motivated by the questions - how can we make work for the CEX and Tumblr generation who may not feel comfortable in a traditional gallery? And how can we get another little residency to play board games and TTRPGS?

Farmhouse Library spotlight: 22/23 Residency artist collective Babeworld have selected three books as their contribution to the library. They said; “Tatsuki Fujimoto’s ‘Look Back’ is one of the most beautiful, cinematic mangas I've ever read. It's like watching a film on a piece of paper. I read it three times back-to-back. When the film came out, I saw it two days in a row. One of the best pieces of media ever made. ‘They Came to Slay’ by Thom James Carter is about Dungeons and Dragons and Queerness; an accessible insight into why queer people are drawn to D&D and how we can use it as a tool for exploration. Finally, ‘Bellies’ by Nicola Dinan is a crazy good debut about contemporary queer life - relatable, stylish and chic!” The Farmhouse Library is an ongoing project created by artists Ruth Beale and Giles Round, housed on-site in the communal living room of Wysing’s Farmhouse. Any artists who have been involved in Wysing’s programme can nominate a book. ‘Look Back’, published by VIZ Media, 2022. ‘They Came to Slay’ published by 404 Ink, 2022. ‘Bellies’ published by Transworld Digital, 2023. @babeworld3000

⭐️FORMAT25 Would You Rather video essay by Babeworld @babeworld3000 ▶️click the link in our bio to watch now! Would You Rather explores the experiences of a mentally ill autistic person outlining their approach to social interactions in their day-to-day and their professional life as an artist. By following a character outlining how they utilise the game ‘Would you rather’ to create a technique to thrive in conversations. The film explores key elements of the neurodivergent and autistic experiences, highlighting the relationship between mania and delusions of grandeur, and the self-assured sense of confidence one must have across a capitalist arts sector and monetized content creation to ensure success. Across a range of chaotic and unhinged ‘WYR’ questions, this film provides an insight into neurodivergent traits like masking, and systemising / hyper-focusing within social situations. Whilst the nature of the - possible imaginary - interactions narrated across this film shed light on scripting as a coping mechanism.

✨🪐💫 NEXT WEEK FRIDAY “Always Coming Home” Series is back! Friday 25th April: 1st Chapter at @fact_liverpool part of “Choose Your Own Adventure” 🔥Featuring🔥 @babeworld3000 X @jon_a_edgley @babakahteshamipour @zeinxmajali X @jeremiah.zen A—Z ✨Chapter 2 will take place at @fabricagallery , 19th of June feat. @huw_parry + Guests, @gisougolshani , @ain.bailey , @utopian_realism ✨ A—Z presents Always Coming Home at FACT, Liverpool 25th of April 2025 part of their event: Choose Your Own Adventure. Featuring a workshop by Babeworld & Jon Edgley, performances by Babeworld, Zein Majali X Jeremy Chen, A—Z. This series is the development of a recent research on the affect of visual and sound in narrative. The first iteration of Always Coming Home took place at Iklectik 2023 and carried on at Matt’s Gallery in 2024, as a starting point for ambient sensorial experimentation, a threshold for furthering the ideas of immersion, speculative world and conscious listening. Each chapter from this on-going investigation aims at introducing a live performance, a moving image and a live musical set. Thinking of change and flux as part of speculative futures and world building as ways of expressing current socio-political issues and expanding from there to potential other paths. This series of events is funded by an Art Council Projects funding @acegrams – Special mention and thank you to Chris Rawcliff @pro_numb
