🎤 Sound Event Announcement 🎤 Ghost in the Karaoke Machine 🎤 Join us on Tuesday 30th June for an evening with artist Sadia Pineda Hameed, unpacking the colonial echoes that can be heard in Filipino music. Sadia’s mum came to the UK in the 1970s to work as a nurse and found community by joining a dance troupe, Lei Aloha, performing Filipino and Hawaiian music across the UK. Starting with her memories of Lei Aloha, Sadia will explore the sounds of the Philippines, from the rise of Kundiman - a form of love ballad that emerged under Spanish colonial rule - to the rise of Hawaiian music, popular amongst the American soldiers and migrant workers who moved back and forth across the pacific. Throughout the evening, we will discuss karaoke - a national pastime in the Philippines - as a postcolonial strategy; how renditions allow us to hold both our own stories and the echoes of the past. The conversation will be accompanied by projections, drawn from Sadia’s artworks and archives. Tickets are on a sliding scale from £6-8, available via Headfirst (link in bio). Please book early - if we sell out quickly we’ll add a second show.

MMMM NOTE, Billboard Gallery | Yr Oriel Bwrdd Posteri You have just one month left to see MMMM NOTE, by artists Sadia Pineda Hameed and Kerstin Kartscher. Developed after research at the Robert Owen Museum in Newtown, this work acts as a speculative voucher from a future, where value is measured through irrational, ‘delirious’ modes of intuition, belief and conjuring. The enlarged drawing is a playful counterfeit, deconstructing value as imagined rather than issued. It takes its title from David Medalla’s MMMMMMM…Manifesto (1965), in which the artist dreams of ‘sculptures without hope, with waking and sleeping hours.’. This video shares some of the ideas and experiences collected at the opening event. Filmed, edited, and produced by Redbrck @redbrck MMMM NOTE is part of Perspective(s), a collaboration between Arts Council Wales and National Museum Wales, supported by the Welsh Government. Stay tuned for artist announcement and new artwork coming soon… *** Dim ond mis sydd ar ôl gennych i weld MMMM NOTE, gan yr artistiaid Sadia Pineda Hameed a Kerstin Kartscher. Datblygwyd MMMM NOTE yn sgil ymchwil yn Amgueddfa Robert Owen in Newtown, Owen yn Y Drenewydd, ac mae’n gweithredu fel taleb hapfasnachol o ddyfodol lle mae gwerth yn cael ei fesur trwy foddau greddf, cred a chonsurio afresymol, ‘dryslyd’. Mae'r darlun mawr yn ddarn ffug chwareus, sy'n dadadeiladu gwerth fel rhywbeth a ddychmygwyd yn hytrach nag a gyhoeddwyd. Daw'r teitl o waith David Medalla MMMMMMM…Manifesto (1965) gan David Medalla, lle mae’r artist yn breuddwydio am ‘gerfluniau heb obaith, gydag oriau effro a chwsg’. Mae'r fideo hwn yn rhannu rhai o'r syniadau a'r profiadau a gasglwyd yn y digwyddiad agor. Ffilmiwyd, golygwyd, a chynhyrchwyd gan Redbrck @redbrck Mae MMMM NOTE yn rhan o Safbwynt(iau), sef cydweithrediad rhwng Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru ac Amgueddfa Cymru, gyda chymorth gan Lywodraeth Cymru. Cadwch eich llygaid ar agor am y cyhoeddiad artist a'r celfwaith newydd sydd ar ddod..... @sadiaph @kerstinkartscher @museumwales @celfcymruarts

🌺🌊 two months left to see my film commission Anak Where Did We Stay? 2026. hi8 and archival film (16min), five channel installation The Box, Plymouth 14 February - 14 June Anak Where Did We Stay? is a multi-channel film by Sadia Pineda Hameed that brings together The Box’s home movie collection and the artist’s personal/family collection. Rasheed Araeen’s chakras, spouting waves, Beatlesmania, a basking shark, hula dance, an Enoch Powell protest, tidal islands and seafoam floating into the air—the archives converge across time to tell the story of the artist’s mother’s migration from one archipelago to another: the Philippines to the British Isles. The film becomes a gathering site for personal and collective experiences of journeys, resilience and belonging. Road trips unexpectedly reenact the archive, footage finds itself out of context, voices commentate the film as if rewatching a home movie together; mimesis, associations and autonomy are central to the retelling. As camcorders became more accessible from the 1970s onwards, home movies were an unconscious means to rebuild personal archives after colonial displacement, extraction and erasure. Anak Where Did We Stay? sits in dialogue with the @nationalportraitgallery tour of Sir Joshua Reynolds’ Portrait of Mai (1776), depicting the first Pacific Islander to visit Britain; considering how stories of movement are held and reimagined beyond institutional representations. Anak Where Did We Stay?, named after a home movie in The Box’s archive titled Perranporth Where Did We Stay?, unfolds as a conversation between the artist and her mother, exploring the three interconnected journeys of migration, holidays and recollection.

I’ve been invited to read from my new piece Memory Beds (edited by the wonderful @alysconran ) in Folding Rock issue 004 at (Re)Telling Wales - Wednesday 27 May 2026, 8.30pm – Spring Stage @hayfestival with @foldingrockmag ! ‘Come and celebrate Wales, land of legend and song, known for its stories that span countless generations – and a place where, out of this rich heritage, new tales are always being told. In this unique and immersive evening of stories and song illuminating work steeped in Welsh culture and history, writers Tom Bullough, Lucie McKnight Hardy and Sadia Pineda Hameed tell new stories from Wales, including specially commissioned work from the latest issue of Folding Rock magazine. They are stories inspired by folklore, and salute today’s blooming creative landscape.’ and please read more abt @fossilfreebooks call on Hay Festival to refuse funding from airbnb on their IG. as a reader at this event I also call on the divestment of funding and hope to see this happen before the festival takes place, because as much as I would love to read from my new piece which I’m super proud of, I will not be complicit in supporting / support from a company that actively profits from and enables the occupation of palestinian land 🇵🇸 UPDATE: v sad 2 say i’ll be dropping out of this lovely event due to @hayfestival ‘s support from @airbnb , after some email exchanges with Hay Fest and their unwillingness to cut ties with Airbnb who are complicit in / facilitate the occupation of Palestinian land - ironically supported by Airbnb for their Room To Write award whilst their company actively displaces Palestinian writers / people from their own homes in the West Bank.

going to speak ill of rome tonight along with some other short bits of writing incl a poem i had in the last issue of @xeno_futurism i never posted abt :) Speak Badly with @samhaslerart and @paciluca Bacareto 31st March Doors, 7:30 Event, 8pm - 9pm Free but booking required (eventbrite link in sam’s bio)

🔊⚒️ Four chances to catch Moving Sound: at my solo exhibition Senyals at @tangent_projects (Barcelona, until 27/03), @wowfilmfest (Aberystwyth, 27/03), @alchemyfilmandarts (Hawick, 03/05) and @focuswalesfilm (Wrexham, 08/05) ⚒️🔊 Moving Sound (8min) speculates upon convergences of labour action across space and time, as well as histories real and imagined. Proceeding from present-day organising around miners’ strikes, the film considers the fictive use of audio technology to transmit strategies for resistance to the workers in and around the coal pits of 1980s Wales, in a para-national gesture of creative solidarity.

2026. super 16mm and archival super 8mm film (8min), pewter sculpture, sound installation Tangent Projects, Barcelona | 27 February - 27 March | Wed-Fri, 3-7pm @tangent_projects Featuring sound, installation and film works, Sadia Pineda Hameed’s exhibition Senyals (‘signals’ in Catalan) explores connections between Wales’ history of mining and strike action and wider global histories of resource extraction and solidarity movements. Focusing on histories of mutual support between Welsh miners and republican fighters during the Spanish Civil War, the exhibition moves between Wales and Catalonia to consider how voices, signals and covert communications carry solidarity across distance, time and borders when bodies cannot. The exhibition includes metal sculptures (Long Distant Calls), moving image work (Moving Sound), and a new sculptural sound work (It Belongs Not Only To Us). This new work brings together recordings of black singer, actor and activist Paul Robeson’s transatlantic transmission to Welsh miners, his speech and performance to republican fighters during the Spanish Civil War and oral testimonies from Welsh miner brigaders who fought alongside Catalonians. Through this work, Sadia connects these moments of solidarity across sound, geography and temporality, thereby bridging Wales and Catalonia. Also on display are a collection of personal and solidarity pins/badges, inspired by those seen during Sadia’s research and metal casting workshops at the Big Pit, Blaenavon.

@angalliance 🇵🇸 I stand in solidarity with the signatories of ANGA's demands and support their call to exclude Israel from the Venice Biennale. The widening war we are witnessing did not appear overnight. It grows from years of normalising Israel's genocide in Gaza and its 78 year occupation of Palestine, allowing institutions to treat it as an exception. Culture must not provide cover for genocide and the brutal imperial aggression being unleashed on Iran and Lebanon. No genocide pavilion. No artwashing in our name. Share this post to voice your support.
