Nina’s going to talk about November, by Hito Steyerl: what and how the film thinks, or about what and how it might makes us think (which is connected, but not the same thing), by watching, and it discussing (with you?).

How do we sense entanglement? Can the knotting of ropes according to a poem’s rhythm make the social pulse of language matter?
An event exploring anarchic and communal situations of musical creation with MV, EE and The Cherry Blossoms.
