An improvisation that may or may not involve (typical) improvisation.
Michael Colligan pressing white hot metal into dry ice, causing the metal to sing and scream.
A programme of discontinuity between narration, text and image. Including Manual Saiz’s employment of John Malkovich’s Spanish dubbing double and Peter Rose’s absurdly hilarious concrete poetry subtitling chaos.

A day of presentations and discussions on the theme of audio visual perception in the context of experimental music, film and art.
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.
