Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
Summing up of the investigations with a reflection on what has been done that week and what could be done the next.
In the Foyer at the Tramway we will screen a documentary from the Sex Workers’ Festival of Resistance 2017 and La Llamada by Eduardo Restrepo Castaño.
