Post consideration and post rationalisation… How do we think about experimental music and film after the performance?
A programme that looks at how sound and image can be treated as variants in a collection of ordered objects; at how to create meaning from the similar, and to notice difference.
A meditation on how all of us perform — sometimes reinforcing, sometimes subverting — the shifting categories of gender, sexuality and race.
Final workshop exploring work, care and class. Does the ‘care industry’ summon forth its own class? Can this ‘affective class’, in their ability to care for others, militate against the carelessness of self-interest?
A 2-day workshop to deconstruct our classed experiences and the ways in which we reproduce the same class system we fight against, in order to create a stronger, more egalitarian Scottish art sector.
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
Can we use sound, repetition and difference to personally and collectively engage with space, time and labour?
(Cyber)feminist, non-essentialist transgender and queer daily radio shows using the formula of morning radio as an arch way of thinking about the scripted behaviour and controlled empathy of systematic care.

A performance bearing witness to a struggle built upon patience and collective action from the great multi-instrumentalist and member of the AACM.
