# Event Details - **Event Name**: Industrial democracy in suspension by Heni Hale - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 04 Mar, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Wed, 04 Mar, 2026 at 09:00 pm - **Event Description**: A video performance lecture navigating archive footage of a 1970s work relations seminar with a shipping companyAbout this EventThrough video assemblage and performance practices, artist-researcher Heni Hale shares her encounters with a set of unedited video records of a ‘simulation’ experiment, conducted in 1977 with a merchant navy shipping company Jebsens. The experiment programme, devised with Tavistock Institute of Human Relations action researchers, simulated a ships environment and proposed hypothetical problems to be solved by the group, aiming to develop new decentralised, democratised work systems, to improve conditions, and work relations in the contained environment of industrial sea life. Mobilising a visceral and felt- sense responsivity, Heni tussles with affective impacts of witnessing and touching these suspended fragments of a world seemingly halted in time and heavily defined by a gendered class system. At the same time, she explores the thorny ethics of re-use and mis-use (a term coined by Jaimie Baron, 2021) of archival images, and lack of consent from original participants.Image credit – stills from Borgnes Seminar.

SA/TIH/B/2/52/13/1 Tavistock Institute of Human RelationsHeni Hale is a movement and performance artist whose practice navigates the space between bodies, histories, and technologies. Through her collective Project and current post graduate research at the Centre for Dance Research, Coventry University, she explores how movement can activate archives and reimagine past encounters with automation and industrial systems. Drawing on the Tavistock Institute’s 20th-century studies, her work embodies and re-enacts historical moments to explore how technological change continues to shape contemporary working lives. She has also served as co-director of Independent Dance in London, and leads its MA/MFA Creative Practice partnership with Trinity Laban. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/4876d7a0-0c24-11f1-9d1a-cbb202d0aa19-rimg-w1166-h740-dc142b1a-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/plymouth/industrial-democracy-in-suspension-by-heni-hale/100001983370665050 - **Event Categories**: workshops, art, fine-arts - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Plymouth - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: 37 Looe Street - **lat**: 50.36956929999999 - **long**: -4.1370508 - **full address**: 37 Looe Street, 37 Looe Street, Plymouth, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Industrial democracy in suspension by Heni Hale - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/0fce741bcea16bf0254c62b00380dce504bd1d50468ece26860869c45316903a-rimg-w1200-h762-dc142c19-gmir.jpg?v=1771355975 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Industrial democracy in suspension by Heni Hale being held? - **A:** Industrial democracy in suspension by Heni Hale takes place on Wed, 04 Mar, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Wed, 04 Mar, 2026 at 09:00 pm at 37 Looe Street, 37 Looe Street, Plymouth, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Industrial democracy in suspension by Heni Hale? - **A:** Industrial democracy in suspension by Heni Hale is organized by Julia Pond. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
