FAIR GUIDE

SISTXRHOOD is Shangri-La Glastonbury’s feminist space. They’ll be creating an installation that celebrates the diversity and visibility of the Sistxrhood, amplifying womanhood in all its glory. The Sistxrhood centres all women (cis and trans) and is committed to empowering and showcasing womxn, non-binary and gender-nonconforming artists in the music, arts, culture and nightlife industries.

Figurative artist Rod Kitson will be painting portraits in real time at the fair. Each sitting will take 2hrs and by Sunday 12 March, he will have created a mini gallery of fair visitor portraits – all painted from life, in oil. The portraits created at the fair will also form part of his exhibition Where Are We Now, taking place later this June.

TOMME Studio will be creating a bespoke installation at the fair, reimagining basketballs in a whole new way.

Psst. the brand are super environmentally conscious too, unnecessary waste is a big no no.
