theCOLAB presents KATE McMILLAN -

The River’s Stomach (Songs of Empire) a new site-specific audio-visual intervention with sound composed by Cat Hope at the Strand Lane ‘Roman Baths’. Weaving together the mediums of sound, video, objects and performance, McMillan combines true, false, real and imaginary stories that coalesce in this strange place, transforming them into a haunting exploration of the residues of colonial violence and the systemic forgetting of women’s stories.

Open the public for free over a five week period from 22 May - 02 July 2025.

Features voices of sopranos Sarah Dacey and Vera Brozzini.

Commissioned by @thecolab.art for Taking Place: Women Artists in Public Spaces conference and research project. This commission also forms part of the programme at The Artist’s Garden.
