After an exciting Summer Salon Season, WITCiH is Celebrating its 1st Birthday at The Bargehouse in Haggerston. 

In the past year, we have been lucky to have many talented women perform & speak, including Imogen Heap, Ana Matronic, Mira Calix to
upcoming artists such as Chagall, Zarah Hussain & Rebekah Ubuntu.

We celebrate the WITCIH 1st Birthday with more incredible, talented and innovative women. The night will include musical performances, talks & demonstrations, food, cake all washed down with a glass or two. 

Speakers & Performers include: 
NATALIE SHARP aka LONE TAXIDERMIST, VICKY O’NEON, THE OMNII COLLECTIVE, and WITCiH co-founder and host, BISHI

NATALIE SHARP aka LONE TAXIDERMIST 
Fresh from the twisted machinations and fertile imagination of Cumbrian-born, London- dwelling artist and seer Natalie Sharp, ‘Trifle’ is a gallery of grotesquery not recommended for either the nervous of disposition or lactose intolerant.

Along with her co-conspirators Philip Winter (Wrangler/Tuung) and Will Kwerk, Sharp decamped to the splendid isolation of the otherworldly Bodmin Moor studio of Benge (John Foxx & The Maths/Wrangler) to sculpt these serenades, surrounded by vintage analogue equipment and sci-fi paperbacks.

Invariably on the lookout for new and surreal dimensions of expression, Natalie Sharp has seen herself increasingly over-subscribed as collaborative maverick of choice for a dizzying array of artists. She recently contributed vocals and live performance to Gazelle Twin’s JG Ballard-inspired Kingdom Come project at an impressive roll call of festivals in Europe as well as embarking on a summer of shows working on costume and conceptual designs for Jenny Hval. Her face and body painting work has won her infamy, notoriety and plaudits aplenty, and forms a puzzle piece in a body of work that sees disparate disciplines combining and conspiring to form a singularly enthralling assault on the senses. http://www.nataliesharp.co.uk/
