The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
A glance at both analogue and digital processes; the clarity and precision of digital colour or the yawning, endless depth of dye and emulsion, our programme celebrates how both approaches revel in colour, saturation, hue and tone.

Improvising violinist Angharad Davies performing with pianists Tisha Mukarji and Andrea Neumann.
Two bottomless brunch writing workshops—with readings—speculating the relationship between space, infrastructure, technologies and sex.
