Paul Sharits’ Shutter Interface is a multi screen installation born of an intent to reveal the material substance of cinema in its purest form: spatially.
In rethinking the body, the law, the state, gender, race, violence, care and empathy, how we might give humanness a different future?
In Our Hands is a ten week programme of workshops facilitated by Lisa Fannen, Omikemi and Clay. The sessions explore radical approaches to health and collective care in the context of movement for liberation and social justice.
Birthed from the collective stagger in global consciousness of the late 50’s and 60’s, this programme celebrates epochal, groundbreaking films that all address sound in their own way and that have opened pathways to experimentation.
Harrowing but musical confrontations with the very real, physical and aural trauma of a woman screaming.

Underground movement legend boychild hosts this workshop—on improvisation, cosmetics, movement and lip-sync.
A film installation as both allegory and investigation of The Rockridge Institute and their research into ‘framing’ and the use of metaphor within political discourse.
