A panel exploring the poetics of abolition. “Poetry is not only dream and vision; it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change.”

A performance by Storyboard P – one of the greatest Afrofuturist dancers on the planet.
A recreation of one of Gustav Metzger’s celebrated auto destructive performances.
Radical transfeminism aims to hold the space for finding relations between the ruins of the everyday. Emerging from the debris, spaces for politics find form as poetics to carry understandings, actions and be/longings.
