Transfeminist, communist, revolutionary poetry that refuses to flinch. Nat Raha presents new work in the nine.
A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).
Film and sound stripped of ‘content’ and experienced spatially, to be looked at not on the screen but in the space of the gallery

Guitar and voice. Keening, droning and mourning. Be ready to release and bring your dis-ease.
