Event: ‘Showing Up’ - LUX London Critical Forum 25/26

The LUX London Critical Forum present ‘Showing Up’, a collaborative show gathering the films, performances and works that have grown from their shared experiences. Resisting organisation around a single theme or a common position, it instead offers a moment within an ongoing process of thinking together. The works, while distinct, are loosely connected to the conversations, questions and ways of working that emerged over the course of the year.

Participating artists include: Anisa Sabiri, Avisa Yazdani, Ben Dawson, Chuck Blue Lowry, Coby-Rae Crosbie, Dino Zhang, Dominique Rivoal, Durre Shahwar, George Marigold, Hadas Amster, Ishy Pryce-Parchment, Leena Habiballa, Mollie Tilley, Muhammad Muhammad, Nicolas Lejtreger, Saki Maruyama, Sohaila Baluch, Susanne Dietz, Tamara Tyrer, Tomás Dettmar, Zish and Ziyi Wang

Date: Sunday 13 September
Time: 2 - 6pm
Location: LUX, Waterlow Park

Online Lecture: Ethical considerations for the care of disability-related collections material: Michael Marlatt

Date: Wednesday 2 September 2026

Time: 5-6pm BST

Online [Zoom and Youtube]

The third online lecture in the ‘Sharing Strategies: Caring for moving image in the margins’ programme will see Michael Marlatt address some of the ethical roles, responsibilities, and considerations that experimental film archives must consider when working with disability-related films within their collections.

Drawing on his practice as a media archivist whose professional interest centres on archival media accessibility and disability film history, and his lived experience, Marlatt will focus on epilepsy and potential seizure-inducing material found within many experimental film archives.

Case studies will include early medical actualities and mid-20th century flicker films. Through these case studies, he will address what some of the ethical shortcomings have been regarding the programming and access of epilepsy-related material and what experimental film archives can do to correct this.

- This online lecture is free, but registration is required if joining via Zoom.
- Live captions will be provided.
- More information and a viewing link can be found in our bio.

This event is part of the ‘Sharing Strategies: Caring for moving image in the margins’ programme, a series of online lectures and a study day. ‘Sharing Strategies’ is made possible with the support of the BFI Screen Heritage Fund, awarding National Lottery funding.

LUX is delighted to welcome Larissa Sansour and her work to the collection.
 Larissa Sansour is a Palestinian artist working primarily with film, photography and installation. She was born in East Jerusalem and studied fine arts in London, New York and Copenhagen. Central to her work is the dialectic between myth, documentary and historical narrative, often explored through the lens of science fiction.

In recent years, Sansour has been examining the role of nostalgia, memory and inherited trauma for personal and national identity. Her works are often articulated from a parallel space, “that’s not separate from political reality, but somehow comments on it from a different portal.” Much of her practice involves close creative collaboration with artist, director and writer, Søren Lind.

Sansour’s films and installations have garnered critical acclaim for their cinematic visuals and subversive storytelling. Sansour’s work is included in major collections and shown in galleries, museums and film festivals worldwide. In 2019, she represented Denmark at the 58th Venice Biennale. In 2020, she was the shared recipient of the prestigious Jarman Award (UK). She has shown her work at Tate Modern, MoMA and Centre Pompidou. Recent solo exhibitions include Amos Rex in Helsinki, Kunsthal Charlottenborg in Copenhagen, Gothenburg Konsthall in Sweden, Whitworth Gallery in Manchester, KINDL in Berlin, Gifu Museum of Contemporary Art in Japan and EMST in Athens.

Sansour is currently working on her first arthouse feature film, ‘In Memory of Times to Come’, shooting this autumn. She lives and works in London, UK.
LUX is proud to distribute eleven of Sansour’s works, produced since 2003.

If you are interested in hiring any of these works, please get in touch with distribution[at]lux.org.uk.
