Thought and action, writing and protesting. A chat with Nat Raha, KUCHENGA and Jackie Wang asking what can be learnt from writing across genres by agitators, activists and abolitionists?

A Festival supporting the struggle for Sex Workers’ Rights: share knowledge, discuss, dance and strategise!
Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
