Christian Bök‘s work spans thrillingly conceptual poetry to body-shaking vocal performances.
 
Stripping back the domesticated ‘meaning’ of (everyday, mundane, kitchen) tools to reveal “a lexicon of rage and frustration.” Plus an allegorical use of mundane, everyday things as an examination of how meaning is constructed in film.
 
A conversation of intergenerational trans-resistance and anti-racist fierceness between two of the most inspiring public speakers we know.
 
A sound diffusion piece by Glasgow University’s Musica Electronica, and a further selection of electroacoustic performances.
Sean and Taku share an interest in structure, space and time. A spartan, abstract, considered and surprisingly musical set.
 
US percussionist, poet, sound artist and instrument maker performing on self-made instruments constructed from industrial materials such as stainless steel, titanium, PVC plastics and various kinds of pipe.

Ubuntu Women Shelter, National Ugly Mugs and the Sex Workers Union warmly invite you to a generative conversation (and Q&A) about the needs and rights of migrant sex workers in Scotland.
