A Festival supporting the struggle for Sex Workers’ Rights: share knowledge, discuss, dance and strategise!
The struggle for sex workers’ rights and how we can understand it in the continuum of care work and other forms of invisibilised and precarious work.
A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.
A series of badly felted lock-ups and garages + multiple locations within the Megastructure – a purpose built town centre in one building, comprising (in the 50’s at least) of housing (never occupied), shops, apartments, a hotel, ice rink, police station and other amenities
Two bottomless brunch writing workshops—with readings—speculating the relationship between space, infrastructure, technologies and sex.
An audio and video investigation of gender cults, Catholicism, hauntings and nuns’ use of audio devices…

Join activists, academics and artists as they reflect on abolitionist praxis and thought, exploring covergences with gender, poetry, technology, performance, speculation, aesthetics, film and culture. This series of events commemorates Black August and is for anyone who wishes to answer the abolitionist call to action and thought.
A performance for projectionist, musicians and audience, which plays with references to Oscar Levant and Gershwin: apparently a series of small doses of chaos.
Dundee. Progressive rhythmical guitar squall vs. post-highland discorporate dusk-jockey.
An improvisation that may or may not involve (typical) improvisation.
Summing up of the investigations with a reflection on what has been done that week and what could be done the next.
