A public walk from George Square to the Barras market bringing contributions from researchers, activists and artists in a form of live critical praxis
This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
Watching films and chatting with Karrabing members about those films: as they attend to the memory and practice of the ancestral present and the ancestral catastrophe that Karrabing and their more-than-human world find themselves facing.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
In rethinking the body, the law, the state, gender, race, violence, care and empathy, how we might give humanness a different future?
How does this practice, that simultaneously resists and honours the distinctions between these genres, materials and senses, determine the inhabitation of another: a convergence of aesthetic and social experimentation?
Merzbow takes the junk of sound and transforms it into blistering noise assaults with an incredible spectrum and impact.
Daniel Carter & Sabir Mateen’s trio with percussionist Andrew Barker; incessantly driving forward through sweat-drenched bursts of pure ecstatic freedom.
Sound and image slipping out of synch and into discord, the programme includes (in London at least) a very special version of Hollis Frampton’s masterful (nostalgia) with a live narration by Michael Snow.
The Truth and Lies book project emerges as part of a rising tide of sex worker art and organised struggle to end criminalisation and stigmatisation of sex work.
A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.
Disused railway turning circle at east end of Union Terrace Gardens, a historically public space at the centre of a regeneration land-grab for the private gain of a local petro-chemical magnate.
