Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
UNINSTAL was a set of events at Tramway that tested out radical ideas with leading local and international artists. A collection of events (performances, films, installations, walks and talks) about sound and listening.

A public gathering that brings together local artists, musicians, activists, and community organisers.
