Blood Stereo & Ludo Mich: linking past and present generations of DIY intuitive expression in a post fluxus ‘big mess’.
A simple, gracefully bold set-up to allow Loïc to trace connections: of comments upon comments upon comments, of sounds next to sounds next to sounds.
Poems are kisses, fists, and underground rivers. For all these reasons and many more, I am a poet.
This session focuses in on the defiant mutual aid practices of early and DIY feminist movements in the UK, that attempted to shift and radicalise care and kinship away from the domain of the nuclear family.

Improvising violinist Angharad Davies performing with pianists Tisha Mukarji and Andrea Neumann.
An immersive live performance for multiple 16mm film and bass clarinet, taking in the whole gallery, submerging the audience.
