Ankur Festival Blood to Hood

Live artists and performance art practitioners Ian Nulty, Drew Taylor, Kate E Deeming and Stewart Ennis respond to the themes “Where are you really from?" and "Do you have to be white to be Scottish?" in these newly commissioned works. Blood to Hood aims to question scientific methods of defining the social being though live performance, provoking conversation on how science and art interrogate the body.

Driven by questions “Where are you really from?” and “Do you have to be white to be Scottish?”, as well as examining the subject of growing up mixed race. A compelling range of responses, notions of dual heritage, immigration and clashes of culture will be explored through an eclectic programme of performance, art, music, poetry, film, comedy and discussion.
