A public gathering that brings together local artists, musicians, activists, and community organisers.
A performance for dry ice and four specially constructed steel tables, each one heated by a single candle until searingly hot.

A double bill of A (imageless) film of nothing but a sound recording and its transcription and a found film of news interviews about Malcolm X’s assasination, where the filmmaker decided to add nothing to it, except our attention.
Voguing, drag, clubbing, and the politics of communities making different performances of gender and sexuality visible.
Can we find ideas of queer anarchism, failure and low theory in popular culture?
Repetitive, mesmerizing rhythmic workouts, to pieces of stark and rigorous introspection, where notes picked and slid in isolation, scatter like mercury around the listener.
This mini, late-night ball will include categories inspired by the events earlier in the weekend.

In true reality television style, this in-depth artist talk will tackle all the hardest-hitting questions and juiciest details about care, creative collaboration, and disability justice.
Talk charting the radical history of experimental music in Japan + the lowdown into the careers of many of the artists appearing at MLFC.
In this workshop we will imagine ourselves as time travellers from a glorious and chaotic neurodivergent-led future.
