The first performative part in a game of chance and endurance as actor Tam Dean Burn constantly broadcasts for 24hrs.
Amid the blur of erotics, the jangle of poetics, and the fetishizing of sickness and disability, the heat of Panteha’s performance and sculpture freezes all.
Jarrod Fowler creates a social space where layered one-to-one live encounters with the audience become sonic material.

A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
Could cruising and random public sex be the basis of an ethically organised society? A discussion with Jackie Wang, Samuel R. Delany and Huw Lemmey.
An informal conversation, over breakfast, about how abolition and movement work structures Mijke and Nat’s approach to transfeminism, ahead of their new book Trans Femme Futures.
Sometimes delicate, sometimes harsh and jarring, Yagi’s koto solos are as much inspired by Nancarrow or Cage as they are traditional.
