Mega Hammer

Mega Hammer was an event that created a space for pure expression, bringing together a group of artists with shared interests. This was a reincarnation of the first Mega Hammer event, which was part of Open House Glasgow 2015, where the group transformed a domestic space into an ad-hoc theatre.

Performers wanted to demonstrate a lifestyle based on DIY, low budget, death metal and pure expression and were expecting the audience to feel as if Valkyries have swept through the room.
