For One Night Only: Battle Lines

A new selection of street artists is taking to the floor for a fast, furious and freeform art battle. Join local artists Graham George, Amanda Rigby and Process Smith who will have 2 hours to respond to the theme of ‘What’s possible when things go wrong’.

Kickstart your weekend with a live art battle, complete with music and competitively positive vibes.

This session is part of our What’s Possible When Things Go Wrong, a series of celebrations, sharings, and dinners to mark our final moments in the building and to explore what is possible when the sh*t hits the fan.

Battle lines is an art battle event, artists have a time limit to produce live illustrations, the crowd vote the winner.

Metal and the other organisations based at Chauffeurs Cottage will be leaving in December. It wasn’t our decision and it’s one we’re still trying to get our heads around, but we’re working hard to find a new space in the city that will be just as wonderful, whilst celebrating all the magical moments we’ve spent here.

Being thrown into this situation has made us reflect on ‘necessity as a mother of invention’ – being faced with a challenging situation and being inspired to create a new imaginative solution. It’s made us dream about inspiring futures and what a queer, accessible, anti-racist space would look like from scratch.
