FACT are joined by artist Sara Sadik for a Studio/Lab Masterclass that unpacks her creative practice and immersive installation, XENON PALACE CHAMPIONSHIP.
Halfway between fiction and documentary, Sara’s video and performance work, inspired by video games, anime, science fiction, and French rap, puts forward characters facing challenges and striving to achieve moral and physical transformation through initiatory stories. Sara has shown her work at galleries around the world, including LUMA Arles (France), Gladstone Gallery (New York), MACRO Museum (Rome), Sadie Coles HQ (London), and Schinkel Pavillon (Berlin).
At FACT, Sara presents XENON PALACE CHAMPIONSHIP, an interactive film and installation environment that reflects on brotherhood and belonging and explores the relationship between alienation, ambition, and securing your legacy. Sara transforms the gallery into a magical hookah lounge where you can take part in gameplay as the narrative of the film unfolds, using custom-built hookah hoses to train and battle Xenons – fantastical creatures that emerge from wisps of smoke.
They encourage all attendees to check out Sara’s interactive installation in their Foyer Gallery prior to joining them for the masterclass.
Please note that this event is for those aged 18 and above.

Explore unique ways of mark making with print using 3 different monoprint techniques.
Sat 31 Aug, 11am – 5pm
‘A monoprint is a form of printmaking in which an image is made from a smooth surface or ‘plate’ coated in printing ink and transferred using various methods to another surface (paper, fabric etc). In contrast with other printing techniques, only one final image is made, making the technique closer to drawing or painting than other print processes.’
During this one day course you will learn 3 different methods of monoprinting to create a set of stunning, original pieces of artwork. Monoprint is a printmaking process that is easy for beginners and produces very impressive results! This workshop is especially useful for artists who primarily work with painting and drawing but would like to bridge the gap between their practice and printmaking.
On this workshop you will learn about and produce a print using these 3 methods:
Direct monoprint: Drawing
A technique in which ink is applied to a smooth surface and paper is laid on top. Artwork is created by ‘tracing’ and using various methods of pressure and mark making to transfer ink to the paper.
Reductive monoprint: Abstract Mark making
This method is great for creating abstract, multi-coloured artwork with monoprinting. Using stencils, multiple layers and wiping away areas of ink are all used to create some beautiful effects. You’ll use our 100 year old etching press to pull your reductive prints.
Screen monoprint: Painting
This technique uses mesh screens, squeegees and ink – much like screen printing. Paint onto your mesh screen and use the squeegee to pull through the image onto paper. The effect of flattening the ink creates a unique abstract, painterly print
Tickets: £70
(Attendees must be 18+)
