Laser beam sine tones used to draw delicate, abstract patterns by vibrating charcoal, placed atop of a great strip of paper running through the gallery; beautiful, fragile sound-created autonomous drawing.
A conversation of intergenerational trans-resistance and anti-racist fierceness between two of the most inspiring public speakers we know.

A silent performance of (musical) reverberation.
One of the most arresting and unique improvisers in Japan, creating an original and powerful body of free music.
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…
