Shame Parade invites audiences to explore an exhibition that uses the concept of the parade as a lens to explore complex emotional legacies of shame, sound and voice. Across multiple artworks, the exhibition reimagines centuries-old European shaming rituals, known as rough music, charivari and scampanate, where spectacle, sound, and costume were used to discipline social transgressors.

Sculptural work At Certayne Tymes fuses mechanical, anatomical, and vocal elements; sculptural intervention Nocturnal Amusements poses the question “Are you Discreet” and moving-image work Submit to Sound, curated by Mount Stuart and produced by Forma, layers voice feminisation exercises and songs made with Manila-based band Kalye Teresa.

Shame here is not banished, but stretched to new emotional registers where defiance, play, and intimacy coexist. Bugarin + Castle offer no moral resolution. By mapping shame and transformation across continents and through time, they create a politically charged space where power and identity remain in motion.

Bugarin + Castle are the Glasgow-based artists Angel Cohn Castle and Davide Bugarin; their presentation as a Collateral Event of the 61st International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia will be curated by Morven Gregor, Curator of Contemporary and Learning at Mount Stuart on the Isle of Bute.
