A Festival supporting the struggle for Sex Workers’ Rights: share knowledge, discuss, dance and strategise!
Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.
Haino exceeds expectation with a 4 hour solo performance on a collection of more than forty instruments from all over the world.
A conversation between influential figures thinking through Blackness and Indigeneity, asking: what if we took seriously the possibility that this world, as we know it, may be coming to an end? We dread the loss of this world, but have we begun to imagine the one to come?
The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
Ten short intimate one-on-one conversations with Robert Softley Gale – We all want to see ourselves reflected in the world around us—in society, in art, in culture… in porn?

A chat, with examples (Zola, H. P. Lovecraft, Hammer Horror), about blackness and the sheer stupid thickness of what has no profundity whatsoever.
