TLC23 is the collaborative project of London based artists Keira Fox and Katie Shannon. Frequently folding in the work of other artists, performers, sound engineers, musicians, designers, writers and photographers, they collectively investigate themes of trauma, mania, release and protection with a distinctly feminist impulse. TLC23 is a collective, rooted in underground and experimental music, emerging from the subcultures and alternative music scenes that shaped Fox and Shannon’s experiences as teenagers. The work exists at the intersections of music, art, and performance, drawing on personal narratives and the transformative spaces found in these formative scenes. Themes related to gender-based violence, persecution, and bias often inform the work, particularly through a female-identifying perspective. By focusing on intersectional allyship as a guiding ethos, TLC23 create immersive environments where they and others perform, orchestrating spaces for collective experience and resilience in uncertain times. Through such events, their work is resistant to clear authorship, fluid in its means and modes of display, and heterogenous in the archiving and distribution of its documentation. Incorporating sound, music, print media, film, performance, sculpture and radio, TLC23 events become a site of both production and reception and as such inscribe viewers in a dynamic arena of complicity and voyeurship that is simultaneously reactive and restorative in its processes.
