Vanessa Place talks at The Friday Event series at the Glasgow School of Art about her practice as a writer.
 
A concrete walkway ending in mid air, a ridiculously tight squeeze between three office buildings and various other sites of Labour politician and council leader T. Dan Smith’s modernist regeneration projects and ‘slum clearances’ of the 1950’s and 60’s.
A day of presentations and discussions on the theme of audio visual perception in the context of experimental music, film and art.
 
Transfeminist, communist, revolutionary poetry that refuses to flinch. Nat Raha presents new work in the nine.
 
A trance inducing, flickering investigation of structural and minimalist droning from one of the key thinkers in sound and image over the last 50 years
 
A conversation and livestream considering a global feminist critique of capital with Silvia Federici, Hortense Spillers and Gayatri C. Spivak.
 
Performance of a Sudoko based graphic score giving rise to a process of self cancellation.
 
Bleu Shut reveals, and allows us to enjoy, our gullibility within the pervasive absurdity of modern life.
 
Thought and action, writing and protesting. A chat with Nat Raha, KUCHENGA and Jackie Wang asking what can be learnt from writing across genres by agitators, activists and abolitionists?
 
Can a collective performance of NourbeSe’s poem of black life as it exceeds containment enact alternative forms of selfhood that emerge in and out of African diasporic experience?
 
Acting at the minimum. Each film here substitutes one small thing for another, (ironically) transforming received meanings by the simplest of actions; often kind of funny too.
