In this interactive workshop, Dean Spade, author of Mutual Aid, will share key principles, explore common challenges in mutual aid work, and offer tools for working through them.
Post consideration and post rationalisation… How do we think about experimental music and film after the performance?
A landmark film on black life – a poetic filmic constellation of meditations, fragments and interviews on what it means to be black in America in the 21st century, from one of its great cinematographers.
A voice that can vault from an elegantly whispered insinuation to asphyxiated and murderous barks or squalls in a heartbeat.
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
4 days of workshops, discussions and artists presentations exploring the radical act of caring for each other while working to change the world.
Captures the creak and rustle of the forest, with an exhilarating tension let loose in unconfined maniacal and bare-knuckle group thinking.

Glasgow based artist Defaalt invites the audience to collaborate fully in his performance by means of a generative graphical interface.
For day five of Ultra-red’s project, the investigation will review the previous work undertaken together, and perhaps draw up a summary of reflections and pose some future questions.
Three workshops lead up to an open invitation to improvise with the festival as concert. The last four hours of the Sunday 14 at Instal 10 were devoted to presentations devised during the three workshops. The material conditions (time, space, facilities…) were the instruments. From there anything could happen.
