Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
In which Storyboard P and members of Project X pick a song, freestyle to it, chat with us about what dancing means to them, then pick another song, freestyle, chat, repeat…
Conceived of as a dual publication, video cassette and booklet, to be presented as an installation. The content of the videotape is the artist watching television.

Three panels offering opportunities to discuss how to build stronger alliances between the sex workers’ rights, migrants rights and reproductive justice movements and how to face, together, an increasingly punitive and reactionary system.

A bodiless treatise on narration, bored speakers, audience misbehaviour and police megaphones, but: is anybody listening?

A performance by Storyboard P – one of the greatest Afrofuturist dancers on the planet.
60 minutes of hard ass minimal film, projected onto a weather balloon and accompanied by the inspired poetic rant of a visionary Frenchman.
