Our annual festival Between the Lines returns on 13 & 20-21 May and this year we're taking over ICA, bringing together experimental and leftfield artists working in the UK, Ireland and internationally. Join us for a multi-weekender of interdisciplinary performances, with DJs, performance art, and more.

This part of the festival will highlight a burgeoning underground Irish scene, with New Weird Éire presenting Elaine Howley, Maïa Nunes and improvising electro-pop group Acid Granny.

Vocalist, musician and producer Elaine Howley is renown for her involvement in a multitude of bands in Cork City's vibrant scene, most notably as singer in psychedelic rock group The Altered Hours. In her solo work, Howley blends deep synths, analog beats and emotive melodies to create her unique tapestry, mixing digital recording with cassette loops and analogue synthesisers.

Acid Granny's performance art and music project primarily exists in an electrified shopping trolley. Acid Granny will bring their wholly unique, ephemeral art onto the streets of London, with surprise performances around the capital to be announced on the day of the show.

Irish-Trinidadian artist and sound healer Maïa Nunes merges textiles and written text with movement, installation and sound to create multi-textural, interdisciplinary and immersive performance environments. Maïa’s work explores ancestral heritage, the transformative and world-building potential of performance, and song as a liberation and healing practice.
