Join Scot-PEP, SWARM and Decrim Now for a day of panel discussions focusing on: sex worker’s labour rights, how decriminalisation can help in the struggle for sex worker safety, sex work & migration with a film screening of Crossings.
Can we find ideas of queer anarchism, failure and low theory in popular culture?
An utterly deep introspection told in aching, weeping guitar lines; melodic, simple, always minimal but somehow entirely epic.
Solo performance on bass clarinet, jaw harp & voice by Arrington De Dionyso.
Sax/Drums duo of raucous, pealing noise, and cries of beguiling lyricism, whispered sax phrases float in a timbral cloud of bowed metal and rumbling toms.
A performance for dry ice and four specially constructed steel tables, each one heated by a single candle until searingly hot.
The second of two short film programmes featuring works that blur the boundaries between music and film from artists who cross and redefine those long held divisions. This programme highlights contemporary works.
Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.
An extravagant debauch of huge pianos, plush toys, cognac and ritual.
Performances at CCA Glasgow by Keiji Haino, My Cat Is An Alien, Taurpis Tula, Jandek with Richard Youngs and Alex Neilson.
