Includes: a classic of innovative computer graphics, ex-pat Scot McLaren on form, a riotous psychedelic oil show with a Soft Machine accompaniment, subtle manipulation of data feedback, a colourful road movie and a reworking of a lost Paul Sharits film.
Camille Sapara Barton author of Tending Grief will facilitate this BIPOC only session around somatics and racial justice.
