5 days of film, music, discussion and study of our collective incompleteness—arrayed against the colonial ordering of how we come to know the world—practicing how we might exist otherwise, right here and now. Can we start to know and practice the world to come?
Haino exceeds expectation with a 4 hour solo performance on a collection of more than forty instruments from all over the world.
This event honoured those individuals who achieved the status of Icon during the period of 1986-1990.
Thought and action, writing and protesting. A chat with Nat Raha, KUCHENGA and Jackie Wang asking what can be learnt from writing across genres by agitators, activists and abolitionists?
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.

A silent performance of (musical) reverberation.

A kind of performed installation of searing noise and silence, where we’re not sure who the performer is, when it starts or ends or even who it’s for.
Solo organ performance by German composer Eva-Maria Houben, which focuses on ‘nearly nothing’ to expand the way we listen.
