Oozing Gloops Tentacular Spectacular makes a digital offering to be In Conversation with Homotopia to explore themes of Monstrosity and DIY cryptids in the 21st Century, using the Tentacular Spectacular universe, an evolving amorphous artistic body of work, created to speak to the swampy times we live. Gloop will delve into its philosophical underpinnings, offering a framework in which to read Donna Haraways Staying with the Trouble and James Bridles New Dark Age, looking at how the non-binary oscillates between these two radical extremes. Oozing Gloop is the worlds premier green, autistic drag queen. Troublesome, camp and revolting; her interdisciplinary practice born out of a life of cabaret creates a queer spectacle exploring Awe: the awful, the awesome, and the autistic. Tentacular Spectacular is an artistic body of work that encompasses a live show, zine and an online-game called The Swamp., providing an interactive exhibition environment, platforming trans* drag artists.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
