A conversation of intergenerational trans-resistance and anti-racist fierceness between two of the most inspiring public speakers we know.
TEST is a collective creative improvising quartet based out of the NYC Underground (figuratively and literally). Their street-hardened, spatial Jazz is riotous and intense: is also makes us think about collective organization, and different ideas of responsibility and liberty.

Black-clad with an ominous aura created by their distorted guitar epics, burnt-out ballads and raucous mantric jams.
A life force of ecstatic clarity capable of loquacious bursts of affirmation.
Christian Bök‘s work spans thrillingly conceptual poetry to body-shaking vocal performances.
Out of a dark haze, shafts of lights are picked out from the surface of film. Out of the black silence, noise, audible scratches bloom into a bright drone of broken and cracked objects.
