In this workshop we will imagine ourselves as time travellers from a glorious and chaotic neurodivergent-led future.
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.

Sadia Shirazi & Mezna Qato will discuss a series of scores that explore the texture and landscape of exile, resistance, and Muslim sociality. These instructional scores trouble the idea that art and activism are untouched by faith and faith is untouched by art and activism.

Come for the crip ingenuity; stay for the smooth feels of what it is to be each other’s everything.
For this one off performance Vibracathedral Orchestra are joined by Matthew Bower and John Godbert from mighty UK heavy/drone/psych free-noise behemoths Skullfower, Sunroof! and Total.
