A Festival supporting the struggle for Sex Workers’ Rights: share knowledge, discuss, dance and strategise!
Merzbow takes the junk of sound and transforms it into blistering noise assaults with an incredible spectrum and impact.
A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).
