“DISCHARGE was a notorious performance art event dedicated to presenting difficult, radical and marginalised performance work. Curated by artist Martin O'Brien and hosted by kink and fetish clubs in London, DISCHARGE embraced the endless possibilities of the performance space for aesthetic, physical, and political art and experimentation.
Marking the end of Martin's project ‘An Eternity of Nothingness or The (Im)possibility of Living On’, DISCHARGE returns with a special one-off event making space to think queerly about living and dying.
The talks, conversations and performances reflect on sickness, sex, queerness, death, disability, mourning and (im)mortality.”
