Simon Morris is joined by Nick Thurston as they attempt to read aloud whilst peddling on exercise bikes.

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.
Temporary Outpost for an Auditory Gesture is a kind of performed installation that explores how sonic phenomena (like feedback, vibration, resonance, echo, rhythm) condition our experience.
A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).
