A dialogical meeting of Baraka’s radical poetry and Grimes’ free jazz syncopation.
Exploring the interplay between punk sinewave aggression, high-speed video sequences and stroboscopic lighting

A conversation and livestream considering a global feminist critique of capital with Silvia Federici, Hortense Spillers and Gayatri C. Spivak.
An assembly to try and provide some experiential and theoretical resources for the renewal of a certain affective, extra-political sociality, in the face of one of our great adversaries; the forces of colonial, imperial, genocidal denial.

Dave will lead a session created for teenagers and designed to stimulate a supportive environment for artistic exploration through music improvisation.
