On the afternoon of Sunday 9th June, a flashmob of over 30 singers gathered in the foyer of the Queen Elizabeth Hall as audience members arrived for the Shell-sponsored performance by Spira Mirabilis of Richard Strauss’s Metamorphosen. The singers launched into a version of Leonard Cohen’s classic song, Hallelujah, with rewritten lyrics drawing attention to Shell’s controversial human rights and environmental record. They unfurled a banner with Yoko Ono’s quotation ‘Art is a means for survival’ and handed out flyers to audience members. They gave a number of repeat performances around the Southbank which drew applause and support.
Turning FACT Inside Out focuses on some of the most pressing, controversial and literally ground-breaking political issues of today. The main work in the exhibition is called Fracking Futures by French artists HeHe, it is a miniaturised recreation of a Fracking site complete with fire, earth tremors, gas and a giant infected water pool in the shape of Shell's logo.
Message from Shell Out Sounds:
Hello,On Sunday we visit the Southbank Centre for the third time this year,
because Shell is systematically villainous, and we're turning our
indignation melodic, as it were.It would be excellent if you could spread the word in any way, even if you
can't make it yourself.If you can, come to the Calder Bookshop at midday this Sunday 9th. If
you're mad busy or otherwise, just come to the QEH for 2.30 and holler
