For this day-long festival, sex workers and their allies from New York, the tri-state area, and Europe will gather at MoMA PS1 to debate, perform, dance, strategize & share knowledge.
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
Julius’ “small music” features simple snatches of found sound, played back through small speakers, often set in bowls of pigment and dirt which shimmies in the vibrations.
This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
Is it possible to dance our way out of the hardened stances and identity prisons we are locked in?
A collaborative performance where sound and image are created, performed and mediated by light, water and glass.
A discussion about what is at stake in the performance of realness and the practice of passing, and how they are both acts of survival and resistance.
Arika is proud to be one of several arts organisations in Scotland supporting the commissioning of a radical new manifesto, by and for disabled artists working in Scotland.
Julius Eastman’s Evil Nigger for 4 pianos performed by Joe Kubera, Kate Thompson, David Murray, Alan Fearon and Simon Passmore.

Renouncing the bind of the written word, Chopin’s sound poetry is a magical evocation of the pure powers of the voices, stripped bare of language.
The session – aimed specifically at white people – will be run by Tripod. We will explore and address whiteness, embodied responses to racial tension and somatic techniques to build resilience for practicing anti-racist action. It will be a space to learn and transform together and look at further anti-racist resources and work.
