An artist duo who met working in queer cabaret in Edinburgh is to represent Scotland as it returns to the Venice Biennale. Scotland has not taken part the art expo - one of the oldest art festivals in the world - in two years, however a review of its participation earlier this year opted to re-enter the event. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Bugarin + Castle - aka Davide Bugarin and Angel Cohn Castle - are to present a 'multi-layered new project', drawing on queer histories, Scottish archives and Filipino cultural heritage. They said: 'We first met performing in the mess and noise of queer cabaret in Edinburgh. A decade later, that spirit still drives our practice. 'We're thrilled to show new work together in Venice, transforming the venue with spatial and drag-inflected interventions that confront questions of gendered performance and colonial sound control, rooted in our lived experience. We aim to trouble easy narratives on the contested ground of identity today.' Scotland's participation in the Biennale was paused in 2023 amid financial concerns. However, Scotland + Venice, a partnership between a range of organisations including Creative Scotland, British Council Scotland and the Scottish Government, said earlier this year a review had opted to restart participation in the prestigious event. It said it would be a 'more efficient model', prioritising lower-carbon travel, more sustainable logistics and hybrid ways of working. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Although Scotland does not have its own pavilion - and is incorporated into the British Pavilion at the Bienniale, it has previously staged a number of "collateral" shows on the fringes of the main sites. A total of 29 countries have official pavilions at the event, regarded as one of the most significant international platforms within the global art world. Bugarin + Castle, Davide Bugarin and Angel Cohn Castle are to represent Scotland at the Venice Biennale. | Scotland + Venice Alastair Evans, chair of Scotland + Venice Partnership, said: 'Scotland + Venice 2026 presents a timely opportunity to showcase the diversity, innovation and internationalism of contemporary Scottish art. 'This presentation reflects the depth of collaboration, critical engagement and inclusive practice that defines the Programme's future direction.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Bugarin + Castle's recent interactive film Sore Throat, shot in Edinburgh and Manila, explored colonial monsters and sound in queer Filipino spaces, showing in a solo exhibition at Fruitmarket as well as at Tate Modern and international venues. Via custom software, gallery audience voices were unknowingly recorded and replayed within the film, implicating them as antagonists in its narrative. Bugarin + Castle also perform in drag as Hairy Teddy Bear and Pollyfilla, through Pollyanna, a Scottish queer arts company founded by Castle, now in its 10th year. Forma, an arts charity working across the UK and internationally, will provide production support for the film element of the new work, building on the organisation's previous Scotland + Venice experience working with Alberta Whittle in 2022. The work will be shown in Venice from 9 May to 22 November next year.

The artists going from queer cabaret to the Venice Biennale
They will be working with Mount Stuart House, the neo-gothic mansion house on the Isle of Bute, on a show inspired by queer histories, Scottish heritage and the Filipino roots of Bugarin. Read more: Their project, which will feature elements of performance and moving image, was chosen to represent Scotland following an open call for proposals earlier this year. It is expected to to explore 'complex emotional legacies' of shame, pride and celebration through the sound and costumes of a parade. Artists Angel John Castle and Davide Bugarin with Mount Stuart Trust curator Morven Gregor. (Image: Neil Hanna) The pair have pledged to "trouble easy narratives on the contested ground of identity today" in a show that will transform a yet-to-be announced Venice venue with "spatial and drag-inflected interventions." Bugarin and Castle have both performed as their drag alter egos 'Hairy Teddy Bear' and 'Pollyfilla' at queer cabaret nights staged under the banner of Pollyanna, an arts company created by Castle in 2015. More than 250 artists have since performed across 75 shows, many of which were staged at the Paradise Palms bar in Edinburgh. The work of Bugarin and Castle, which has combined elements of cabaret, theatre and film, has previously explored the histories of performance, queerness, colonisation and gentrification. They have been showcased recently at the Fruitmarket and City Art Centre in [[Edinburgh]], the Tate Modern in London, the Microscope Gallery in New York, the Kriittinen Gallery in Finland and the Pineapple Lab, in Manila, in the Philippines. Mount Stuart House, the ancestral home of the Crichton-Stuart family, dates back to the late 19th century and is home to one of Britain's biggest private art collections. The house was opened to the public for the first time in 1995 and has been playing host to annual visual art exhibitions since 2001. Artists who have previously worked with the Mount Stuart Trust, which manages the mansion house and its cultural programme, include Kate Whiteford, Thomas Joshua Cooper, Christine Borland, Langlands & Bell, Anya Gallaccio, Nathan Coley, Lee Mingwei, Lucy Skaer, Kate Davis, Lorna Macintyre, Steven Claydon and Whitney McVeigh. Scotland has not been represented at the Venice Biennale since 2022, when Glasgow-based artist Alberta Whittle attracted more than 35,000 visitors to her solo show. Scotland's future participation in the event, which dates back to 2003, was put under review two years ago amid concerns over how it could be funded in future. However it was announced earlier this year that Scotland would have an official presence at the 2026 event after the review found 'overwhelming support' for it to continue. Creative Scotland, British Council and the National Galleries Scotland are sharing the £470,000 costs involved in making Bugarin and Castle's show, and showing it in Venice between May and November next year. However it is hoped further funding can be secured to allow the show to tour around Scotland following a planned run at Mount Stuart House in 2027. Morven Gregor, curator at the Mount Stuart Trust, said: 'We are excited to curate the work of Bugarin and Castle, extending our shared commitment through the opportunities presented by the Scotland and Venice project to bring this ambitious work of performance and moving image to life and to reach our audiences on the west coast of Scotland and internationally. 'We look forward to celebrating the return of Scotland to Venice with our communities across Scotland and beyond, and, as ever, recognise the positive impact of working in collaboration with key partners in the cultural sector.' Bugarin and Castle said: 'We first met performing in the mess and noise of queer cabaret in Edinburgh. 'A decade later, that spirit still drives our practice. We're thrilled to show new work together in Venice, transforming the venue with spatial and drag-inflected interventions that confront questions of gendered performance and colonial sound control, rooted in our lived experience. 'We aim to trouble easy narratives on the contested ground of identity today.' Emma Nicolson, head of visual arts at Creative Scotland, said: 'We are thrilled to support the Mount Stuart Trust, and Bugarin and Castle, as they lead Scotland's return to Venice with a commission that speaks powerfully to the rich and diverse contemporary art practice that we have in Scotland. 'This project is bold, visually compelling and emotionally layered and stands as a testament to the varied and ambitious artistic voices in Scotland, rooted in place, conceptually bold, and internationally relevant. 'We are excited to see how this work will evolve in Venice and ripple back across communities and venues throughout Scotland and beyond.'

Sam Ryder puts live music on tap with the biggest pub gig ever
Appointed as Greene King Pubs' Head of Gigs, Sam Ryder champions its mission to increase access to live music Sign up to our daily newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up!

Greene King Pubs has appointed singer, songwriter and producer, Sam Ryder as its 'Head of Gigs' in a bid to get the UK rocking, by increasing access to live music and finding the country's best grassroots talent this summer. As part of the role, Sam will surprise customers at one Greene King pub for a one-off headline performance as part of the UK's biggest pub gig ever, with nearly 800 acts playing in pubs across the UK all on one day (Friday 8 August). Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The partnership with Sam comes as Greene King Pubs reveals 2 in 5 (39%) people from Scotland missed out on live music last year due to high ticket prices - a figure that jumps to 64% among 21 to 24-year-olds across the UK. Among those who did attend, 20% of people from Scotland had cut back on essentials to afford a ticket, while 10% spent more on live music than on a monthly household bill. Sam Ryder at a Greene King Pub As Greene King Pubs' research reveals that ticket prices have soared to an average of £100, Brits are calling for more affordable live music and better access to local events. Yet, over a third remain unaware of live music events in their local area. As part of its commitment to ensuring everyone can access free live music this summer, Greene King Pubs is celebrating grassroots live music across the UK by launching Greene King Untapped - a nationwide search sponsored by Jack Daniel's and Coca-Cola to find the country's best grassroots talent. The competition, which is sponsored by Jack Daniel's and Coca-Cola, is open to solo artists, bands, duos and anyone with a passion for playing live music.

Having launched his early career performing in pubs and as an advocate for grassroots music, Sam Ryder said: "Playing in pubs and smaller venues was where it all started for me, with intimate venues, borrowed PA systems, and a handful of pub-goers who might become fans. Grassroots music is at the heartbeat of the scene and those early gigs shaped who I am as an artist. These spaces allow live music to be an experience available to everyone, that's why they're so important, and I'm stoked to be a part of the team helping to keep that alive!' Sam speaks about his experience and passion for grassroots music in the video here. Greene King Untapped is part of Live at Your Local, where 870 pubs will be hosting music themed events across the UK this summer. Designed to celebrate the power of music bringing people together, it offers something for everyone including high-energy karaoke nights and engaging music quizzes, to electrifying performances by live bands and expertly curated playlists to get people into the summer spirit.
