Lady Ludd
performance
Electronic Loom

Sophie Huckfield is an artist and writer. They perform and DJ as Lady Ludd. Their practice is collaborative, political and site-specific, they draw on archival and research materials to co-produce multidisciplinary artworks which move between sound, video, repurposed tools and sculpture, installations and writings.

Lady Ludd re-situates the 19th Century Luddite movement within a contemporary intersectional feminist lens, through the repurposing of an historic loom into an electronic musical instrument. Working with sonics, craft and performance, Lady Ludd seeks to question, subvert, and repurpose our tools and histories as a means to challenge current narratives around technology and progress.
