A Festival supporting the struggle for Sex Workers’ Rights: share knowledge, discuss, dance and strategise!
Joan La Barbara presents works exploring the colour spectrum of a single pitch resonating in her skull, an evocation of bird song and circular singing.
A performance of Ueinzz’s new play. Each Ueinzz performance is a process of reinvention, between exhaustion and a fleeting vision: singular, collective, anonymous, plural, suspensive, intensive, unworking life.
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
Transfeminist, communist, revolutionary poetry that refuses to flinch. Nat Raha presents new work in the nine.

A dance party love letter to our community, expressing the joy of relation in the abstract and through actual physical proximity.
A workshop for educators, activists and young people to think about radical, anti-imperialist pedagogy, and what fighting for the Palestinian cause looks like for young people in the imperial core. PDF of the resource available soon.
