Open community meeting to discuss some of the prevalent concerns impacting the ballroom community.
Wordless, reverb drenched voice, ghosted electronics, seething and ferocious electronic damage and Patty Waters style vocal mania.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
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.
Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
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 life force of ecstatic clarity capable of loquacious bursts of affirmation.
Harrowing but musical confrontations with the very real, physical and aural trauma of a woman screaming.
A prison abolitionist punk video-poetry-music mash up about our fucked-up dystopian society, RoboCop, kids toys and criminality.
Profound mathematical ideas for romantics, to help us linger in the difference we share.
A beautifully crisp, slowly evolving duo for cello and projected images. Abstract but still figurative; change only noticeable after the fact.
A testimony to poverty from Chris’s own experiences, and an invitation to engage with an all too typical situation and context through a kind of imaginary listening.
