PAT RIOT PRESENTS Film Screening and Artist Talk

  • Hyde Park Book Club 27-29 Headingley Lane Leeds, LS6 1BL United Kingdom (map)

TICKETS HERE


Hyde Park Art Club [HPAC] are delighted to announce PAT RIOT Presents  - a film screening and In conversation event  featuring works  by KP Culver and invited guest artists.  Join us for an informal evening to hear the artist in conversation and to see some amazing film works that connect to the themes of our current exhibition PAT RIOT. 

KP Culver is an interdisciplinary artist, attending to how collective and personal narratives are shaped, distorted, and reimagined over time. This approach is deeply informed by an interest in how we come to know and sense the world through embodied practices. Through touch, voice, 

or shared acts of noticing - works seek out, and create intimate encounters that challenge 

extractive or binary logics.

Pat Riot is a new exhibition by KP Culver Open Daily / 9.30am - late / 11.09.2026 - 08.11.2026  at Hyde Park Book Club.  This exhibition  explores performance and belonging through 

photography, moving image and material transformation. Playing on the word patriot, the 

exhibition asks what it means to gather not through nations or borders, but through creativity and shared acts of imagination. At the centre of the exhibition is an enlarged photograph of 

Culver’s nan, Pat, taken by the artist as a child. Covered in face paint, Pat appears both familiar and uncanny, transformed on a monumental scale to welcome us into the space. 

Accompanying works in the space draw on wider histories of performance, whilst remembering Pat’s garden as an early site of play, imagination and becoming. Chroma green surfaces become a threshold where the body can shift and transform. The green recalls both the artificial space of image production and the pictorial “green” of landscapes and pastoral myths.
