Live in person at Performance Space New York and live-streamed everywhere! Watching Storyboard P dance feels like glimpsing into another world.

Discussion: If we approach “care as an event” rather than as a “contract of exchange” then what becomes possible in how we know, care for, and appreciate each other?

Profound mathematical ideas for romantics, to help us linger in the difference we share.

How might two of the great musicians working within contrasting traditions of freedom collaborate? What might this produce: musically, socially, allegorically?
A dialogical meeting of Baraka’s radical poetry and Grimes’ free jazz syncopation.
A double bill of Morgan Fisher films that ask what can be achieved by a simple structural method of commenting on scraps of 35mm film, re-shot on 16mm film and what happens to meaning (if anything) when ‘insert shots’ are relieved of their original duty of providing crucial plot development for a variety of other movies?
A 101 panel on sex work in Scotland, hosted by Scotland for Decrim and National Ugly Mugs
A welcoming intermission between events, open to the public.
