A simple hands on workshop with micro-radio theorist and pioneer Kogawa.
Dub is strange. A conversation with Edward George and Dhanveer Brar.
Three short performances involving social exchange (jumpers, hats, glasses…) and singing (ballads)

A poetic multi-screen performance about “the inadequacy of the arbitrary passing moment and the impossibility of permanence”. About time and change.
