Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
A conversation between Philip and Moten: how do we read NourbeSe’s anti-narrative poetic lament in Glasgow today, given the city’s role in the history of slavery?

A kind of an informal overview of INSTAL.
A prison abolitionist punk video-poetry-music mash up about our fucked-up dystopian society, RoboCop, kids toys and criminality.
