Beatriz will explore her thinking, on film as translation, plural subjectivity or land-based militancy. Discussion will centre around her work Oriana and its companion piece Oenanthe, which will be screened in full.

Our Zooms are unmuted, our mics are open, and our hearts and bodyminds are receptive. We give the floor online and in person to you…
A kind of performed installation of searing noise and silence, where we’re not sure who the performer is, when it starts or ends or even who it’s for.
Tiny fragments of sound recombined and woven into spare and precise, violent yet beautiful pieces

Koji Asano, Japanese composer and sound-artist performing slow groaning burbling tones, moaning echoes and drones.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an abandoned oil tanker on Hoy.
Ray and Thomas talking about how cognitive neuroscience is unlocking the physical basis of personal experience.
