The Ladies In The Radiator Introducing our headline act, and  wonderful hosts, The Ladies in the Radiator. Branded electronic  witchcraft practitioners of the Avant Garde, The Ladies summoned  themselves onto the Liverpool music scene in 2022, and have been casting  spells with momentum ever since. Borne of comedian and spoken word poet  Phoebe Winstanley, sound artist Jezebel Halewood-Leagas, and later  joined by Glam Goth Daddy / Mommy / guitarist Nate Reid, The Ladies  explore themes of female trauma, navigating the world as someone with a  neurodivergent mind, and difficult familial relationships. They do so by  using a Lynchian theatrical style to highlight the discomfort of these  topics to the audience. An onlooker once said "I didn't believe in  hypnotism before, but now I do".

Silvia Battista Silvia Battista was born in Rome, Italy, lived for  twenty years in London and at present lives and works in Liverpool. She  is a multidisciplinary artist, writer, lecturer and member of the  collective MM Material Matters. She works with myths,  mythopoiesis and non linear narratives through drawing, sound,  performance and writing. Her research focuses on ritualistic processes  in sound, storytelling and speculative fiction to generate each time  different perceptions and forms of identities. She celebrates the  practice of weaving the symbolic, the religious, the mythological, the  empirical, and the folkloristic with post-human feminist ideas to  re-imagine the meanings of being 'human' in the 21st century. www.silviabattista.com
