Watch Ariel Cerebral City by poet and filmmaker Yassin Zelestine (Electric Mutant X) at Underworld this February.

Yassin’s film is a thought-provoking spoken word and video piece. Set in a dystopian Brighton of the future, it explores the relationship between Vanya, a hybrid mutant, and a male Artificial Intelligence being.

Curated and produced by Videoclub and This is Wyld with Annis Joslin and Jackie Marsh-Hobbs, Underworld uncovers the fascinating, hidden history of the underground spaces beneath Brighton Railway Station, including the enigmatic Cab Road tunnel.
