A Festival supporting the struggle for Sex Workers’ Rights: share knowledge, discuss, dance and strategise!
How black radical practices of abolition imagine a way out of the caging and mass killing of life.
With a signature spartan sound and long term preoccupation in structural tactics (subtle shifts in density, drawn out stasis) Polwechsel blur the boundaries between individual instruments.
An improvisation that may or may not involve (typical) improvisation.
A performance for dry ice and four specially constructed steel tables, each one heated by a single candle until searingly hot.
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
A rare live performance which, although not a full installation, made use of the unique acoustic and spatial properties of the Arches to rattle the audience and help it locate its third ear.
Wordless, reverb drenched voice, ghosted electronics, seething and ferocious electronic damage and Patty Waters style vocal mania.
Birthed from the collective stagger in global consciousness of the late 50’s and 60’s, this programme celebrates epochal, groundbreaking films that all address sound in their own way and that have opened pathways to experimentation.
Opening with one of the most memorable shots ever filmed, and screened a year after the initial successes of the 2011 Egyptian revolution, Too Soon, Too Late is a search for the traces left on the landscape of past revolutions in France and Egypt.
