If you're gutted that you couldn't get tickets for sold out screenings such as Tru Love, or you found the ticket price out of your reach, fear not because there is still a way to immerse yourself into the festival.
Killjoy's Kastle is one example of this.
In the space between NFT2 and the ticket area, tucked away in the corner, a reconstruction of Creep Lez from Toronto in Canada. Originally created in October 2013, gender-queer apparitions, ball-busting butches, paranormal consciousness raisers and polyamorist vampiric grannies were brought to life by a host of collaborators and live performances.This installation features some of the set, and within this is a video documenting the installation which gives you an insight into the creation of this haunted house, which took 4 months to create.
Killjoy's Kastle was the creation of Toronto artist, Allyson Mitchell.
Allyson Mitchell is a maximalist artist. She works with sculpture, performance, installation and film. She investigates sexuality and the body melding feminism and pop culture. Previous work has included a room-sized vagina dentata, a coven of lesbian feminist Sasquatch monsters, and a woodland topic library complete with wishing well of forbidden political knowledge, to name a few.
The Feminist Library will be running a stall in the installation on Monday 24 and Saturday 29 March.
If you fancy owning your own grave from this installation, they are being sold to raise money for the Lesbian Immigration Support Group (LISG). Suggested donation is just £20-40!
