Long Stringed Instrument performance involving up to 100 wires strung in tension over a 40m arch.
Miniscule free-noise hissy-fits and broken instrument scrape/ squeal jams from the fools what brought you Giant Tank.
A chat with Rashad about the communist, conceptual methodology that informs his ground-breaking synthetic music—a form of speculative sonic fiction writing to produce hyperreal non-representational auditive experiences.
Sadia Shirazi & Mezna Qato will discuss a series of scores that explore the texture and landscape of exile, resistance, and Muslim sociality. These instructional scores trouble the idea that art and activism are untouched by faith and faith is untouched by art and activism.

Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
This event honoured those individuals who achieved the status of Icon during the period of 1986-1990.
