A weekend gathering marking the end of zack mennell's project (para)site: a sea-change.

Drawing in members of zack's artistic community, the programme involves performances, conversation, a workshop and an exhibition. zack will show a new short film, made in collaboration with Baiba Sprance and Marco Berardi.

(para)site: a sea change 2025

 (para)site: a sea change is a project by zack mennell, deepening their exploration of difficult ecological and personal legacies through performance, film and workshop activities. These works explore the resonances between zack’s experiences of madness and institution and the wider climate of political hostility to disabled, neurodivergent, queer and working-class communities.

Rage Reactor

As part of the (para)site project, zack developed a new durational performand and installation, Rage Reactor.

Rage Reactor contemplates care, estrangement, containment, and heritage. The work explores the long half-life of generational trauma, asking how its invisible legacy might be honoured and its cycle broken.

Performance artist zack mennell invites you into a strange world where the material remnants of childhood collide with the visual culture of the civil nuclear industry. In entangling their memories with the environmental and social damage caused by nuclear power, zack creates a unique, poetic reflection on lineage and the generational cycles of trauma.

Combining humorous and odd image making with materials drawn from personal and social archives with intense physical action, zack asks: What does this leave us with? Where does this leave us? Where can we go from here?
