Latent Commons is the umbrella title of a new live performance and moving image research project Williams initiated at the start of 2019.  Informed by the language and systems of archaeological excavations, compost, fungus and non-human relationships, it explores the possibilities of survival and connection in this time of political and environmental precarity.

A Fruiting Body performance sharing
with Jos McKain
Sun 8 Sept: 11am-1pm & 3pm-5pm

Falling under this research project, A Fruiting Body uses movement, text and image to explore unisexual reproduction and cloning seen in the behaviour of certain types of fungus.
