A collaborative performance where sound and image are created, performed and mediated by light, water and glass.
Dub is strange. A conversation with Edward George and Dhanveer Brar.
5 days of film, music, discussion and study of our collective incompleteness—arrayed against the colonial ordering of how we come to know the world—practicing how we might exist otherwise, right here and now. Can we start to know and practice the world to come?

Emotional fantasies, towers of cakes, identity troubles, collapsed distance and time and Samuel R. Delany’s rarely seen 1971 film The Orchid.
A dialogical meeting of Baraka’s radical poetry and Grimes’ free jazz syncopation.
French improviser, composer, writer & musical thinker of dry humour and elegant clarity. Sly conjurer of music from the unconsidered processes of music making.
