Koji Asano, Japanese composer and sound-artist performing slow groaning burbling tones, moaning echoes and drones.
If life is assaulted by power, where do we find spaces for living? A conversation with Peter Pál Pelbart.
An event exploring anarchic and communal situations of musical creation with MV, EE and The Cherry Blossoms.
Three documentary films exploring diverse realities of sex workers around the world followed by a closing ceremony of the festival.
The session – aimed specifically at white people – will be run by Tripod. We will explore and address whiteness, embodied responses to racial tension and somatic techniques to build resilience for practicing anti-racist action. It will be a space to learn and transform together and look at further anti-racist resources and work.
A conversation between Philip and Moten: how do we read NourbeSe’s anti-narrative poetic lament in Glasgow today, given the city’s role in the history of slavery?
We wanted to ask a bunch of the best high-energy-improvisers around; can musical form really taking shape via a group energy? Can individual concentration lead to a group consciousness?
Intriguing, underground, Berlin based musicians interested in the borders between music and theatre, language, the visual arts, politics.
Can we find ideas of queer anarchism, failure and low theory in popular culture?
The club as a community and a site for performed politics: deep/ queer house, vogue femme, lipsync and ballroom.
A delicate and detailed walk through the urban and rural landscape around Dundee; a poetic focus on the details found. A performance for 16mm projection and live amplified objects (maybe pine cones, maybe a coke bottle).
No Wave, damaged garage jams and crazed instant vocal shrieks.
