An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
Improvising violinist Angharad Davies performing with pianists Tisha Mukarji and Andrea Neumann.

A crash-course in pre-figurative, radical, queer, anti-racist, anti-police, anti-prison, anti-deportation abolitionist politics and trans-resistance.
