inklingroom: Festival of New Music from Eastern Europe is a new multi-disciplinary, multi-venue festival whose inaugural edition is a celebration of music and art from Eastern Europe and its diaspora, platforming UK debuts, rare performances and international collaborations. Rooted in grassroots nightlife and experimental DIY culture, the festival is taking place across Cafe Oto, EartH Theatre and Ormside from 18-21 February, the programme moves across geographies, generations and artistic practices to platform borderless creative curiosity and invite forward-thinking dialogues.
A limited number of three-day and two-day festival passes are available.
London-based producer and DJ object blue has become a reference in boundary-pushing electronic music, blending experimental sound design with raw dancefloor energy. Since her 2018 debut with Do you plan to end a siege?, she has carved out a singular path somewhere between avant-garde music and club subwoofers. Her 2025 debut album what resembles the grave but isn't earned her the title of “Producers who defined 2025” on Mixmag. She hosts “MAKE-BELIEVE” on NTS radio bimonthly, showcasing new electronic and experimental music.
Natalia Podgórska is a London-based visual artist working across sculpture, photography, 3D video, and live audio-visual performance. Her work draws on retrofuturism, botanical studies, and future ecologies. Combining physical sculpture with digital design, she blends plants, raw materials, and everyday objects to build surreal, futuristic landscapes. Her practice explores where nature and synthetic technology meet. Podgórska has presented her work in both physical and digital exhibition spaces, as well as festivals including Sónar, Dekmantel, WOS, and Houghton.
