Dundee. Progressive rhythmical guitar squall vs. post-highland discorporate dusk-jockey.

Taking The Futurist Cinema’ manifesto and turning it into software to track ‘aluminium’ online, tracing relationships companies with interests in aluminum had to each other and other agencies.
A panel exploring the poetics of abolition. “Poetry is not only dream and vision; it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change.”

Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
A performed filmic conversation on queer and black world making.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
