DEEPER CUT is a performance piece and exhibition by TKE Performance Artist Fellow and multi-disciplinary artist Keziah (Ziah Ziah). Developed during her residency at TKE Studios, this new work is an immersive exploration of hair, self-expression, healing, ritual, and relationships, drawing from her 15+ years as a hairdresser.

Through sound, music, film, and sculpture, Keziah transforms the salon into a portal of transformation—where hair becomes both canvas and ritual, and where the intimate exchange between hairdresser and client reveals layers of identity, trust, and change.

“I made this piece as a homage to the trade. The more I explored it, the more I uncovered the immense depth of what we do—how hairdressing holds space for healing, creation, and even magic in an everyday pursuit.” – Ziah Ziah

The salon is more than a space for styling—it is a stage for reinvention, a mirror for self-perception, and a place where conversations unfold with raw honesty. Every cut carries meaning: the shedding of an old self, the marking of a new beginning, the weight of transformation.

Join us for this one-night performance and exhibition, where the ritual of the salon takes center stage in an immersive, multi-sensory experience.

THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT

TKE Studios artist Guy Oliver presents Sincerely Yours, a themed screening and talk exploring the interplay of irony and sincerity in contemporary culture. Through a curated selection of films and clips, Oliver will delve into the complex, often blurred lines between performance, authenticity, and artistic subversion.

At the heart of the discussion are two key figures:

Andy Kaufman – the avant-garde comedian and performance artist whose elaborate pranks and refusal to break character challenged the very nature of comedy and reality.

John Smith – the British filmmaker known for his playful yet profound manipulation of cinematic language, blending documentary with deception to question truth and perception.

Drawing connections between their work and those they’ve inspired, Oliver will navigate the ways in which irony and sincerity intersect in film, comedy, and performance art.
