The worlds leading radio art station brings you: a performance, a radio show, an installation, an endurance test.
A silent performance of (musical) reverberation.
A dense materialist experience at the limits of contemporary computer music, drawing on Korean Shamanism and Communism; striving to create a strange new vibration to the world that seems to contain the seed of everything.
What is happening when systems of repression try to grasp communities’ ways of being, living or surviving, applying laws of sexuality, gender or race to cast them as criminal?
A drone installation populated by flourescent strip lights working in complicity with analogue radios – “all the lights just do their thing”.
Dworkin asks: What would a non-expressive poetry look like? A poetry of intellect rather than emotion?
Stripping back the domesticated ‘meaning’ of (everyday, mundane, kitchen) tools to reveal “a lexicon of rage and frustration.” Plus an allegorical use of mundane, everyday things as an examination of how meaning is constructed in film.

Criminal Queers visualises a radical trans/queer struggle against the prison industrial complex, working to abolish the multiple ways our hearts, genders, and desires are confined.
