A 101 panel on sex work in Scotland, hosted by Scotland for Decrim and National Ugly Mugs
A series of reality dramas happening over the course of the weekend.
How can we imagine bodies not as an end in themselves, but as a medium through which we can become one another’s means?
This performance brings together film, text and speech and temporarily constructs a filmic space to think through questions of resistance, and the choice and consequence of action vs. inaction: what does it mean to choose to not take part?
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in a large multi chambered industrial ice house.
Slowly evolving ultra-subtle harmonics and multi-tracked, otherworldly drones that only reveal their true power at high volume.
Bruno’s liberated improvisational approach stretches beyond the lyrical, tough as nails rhythmic bursts and expressive, swinging attack of his drumming.
How black radical practices of abolition imagine a way out of the caging and mass killing of life.
How do people living with disability see themselves in today’s sexualised culture? How do we imagine our crip sexual selves despite society wanting to reduce us to non-erotic bodies?
A Feral Choir of people who’ve never improvised with their voices before, conducted by improviser yodeller, composer Phil Minton.
A collaboration bringing together artists with a shared gravitational heft to their work; an intense and concentrated accumulation of detail and power.
A life force of ecstatic clarity capable of loquacious bursts of affirmation.
