Brid Addison-Child and Jesse Lawson are both audio artists and drag performers interested in the intersection between queer performance and audio making. Drag Brunch will weave live performance with interview recordings and archival material, exploring the rich landscape of audio-making outside of the traditional radio industry. Some food is available at the venue, but be aware that the brunch is mainly conceptual.

JEAN (they/them) is a gender-bending, shape-shifting denim alien drag thing from a planet far, far away. Jean wants to party! Jean wants to cry! Jean wants jeans for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Jean wants love. Jean wants revenge. Jean wants to change. No, stay the same. Jean wants all of it. Or nothing. Jean wants you.

Femi Oriogun-Williams (they/them) is a musician, writer, audio producer and educator born at 00:00 under a Taurus moon to a room of laughing people. Their album OK Galexa was originally a radio drama commissioned by Sound Art Radio in Devon and funded by Arts Council England about two AI voice assistants who survive the mass extinction of the human species. Femi also created a one off radio special for the Goethe Institut and Weimar Radio in which they entered into dialogue with cultural African-American heavyweights Nina Simone and James Baldwin, turning to their archival legacies to seek advice over questions of identity and belonging in and on the European continent. Femi was the recipient of The Alan James Creative Bursary and Residency Programme - for 2023, through which they wrote an album of stories about giants, past and future.
