The practice of North African Indigenous revolutionary love, in the face of European capitalist violence and settler colonialism, with one of the most vital anti-colonial thinkers in Europe.
These simple, one-take videos, relate personal experiences to the current conflicts in the Middle East via the most basic of means (a hotel room, a camcorder, John’s personal thoughts, concerns and convictions).
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
4 days of workshops, discussions and artists presentations exploring the radical act of caring for each other while working to change the world.
Three days of discussions, performances, actions, dancing and food – continuing No Total’s ongoing contemplation of ways of being together and the ways Arika have been entangled in those, ever since Episode 4.
For day one of Ultra-red’s project, the investigation will take up protocols for listening to the sound of freedom composed and facilitated by George E. Lewis.
A public gathering that brings together local artists, musicians, activists, and community organisers.
Take a break and/ or hang in an Open Meet Up in IRL and URL
A dialogical meeting of Baraka’s radical poetry and Grimes’ free jazz syncopation.
