A performance by Storyboard P – one of the greatest Afrofuturist dancers on the planet.
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
Usurper jamming live in a skip at the site of Bud’s Neill’s Lobey Dosser statue on Woodlands Road.
Sonic ‘observations’ of the world, through micro recordings on a tiny scale and transformed into something musically compelling.

Take a break and/ or hang in an Open Meet Up in IRL and URL
A discussion about what is at stake in the performance of realness and the practice of passing, and how they are both acts of survival and resistance.
An utterly deep introspection told in aching, weeping guitar lines; melodic, simple, always minimal but somehow entirely epic.
Pitching Fahey inspired, eastern-infused folk vibrations, sad elliptical drones and oracle chants into one kaleidoscopic sound.
Writing that shows us that, even in struggle, there is light to be let in.
A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).
Can we use sound, repetition and difference to personally and collectively engage with space, time and labour?
