In this workshop we will imagine ourselves as time travellers from a glorious and chaotic neurodivergent-led future.
60 cycle hums, jagged static cracklings, and clipped electron pinpricks, mutating them into sublime, post-techno grooves
Jean-Luc Guionnet will be giving a talk as part of the music department’s ongoing series of colloquia.
Christian Bök‘s work spans thrillingly conceptual poetry to body-shaking vocal performances.
Guy Sherwin gives a kind of annotated, chat through his optical sound films
How do people living with disability see themselves in today’s sexualised culture? How do we imagine our crip sexual selves despite society wanting to reduce us to non-erotic bodies?
Rather than asking the state for services, what kinds of change are made possible when we prioritise people supporting each other?
Jumping off from Sun Ra’s thoughts on evil, and the Alien films, this performance will explore how the sociality Sondra wants to visualise and participate in has no interest in respectability.
A conversation between influential figures thinking through Blackness and Indigeneity, asking: what if we took seriously the possibility that this world, as we know it, may be coming to an end? We dread the loss of this world, but have we begun to imagine the one to come?
A sound of buzzing and flickering metallic drones, glottal stops and guttural growls, and also an explosiveness and purity of sound that reminds you as much of Bill Dixon as anyone else.
How do we gesture to the invisible, the trans or the obscure? A performative conversation between boychild and Fernando, a sharing of gestures, and a bodily back and forth between mathematician and dance artist.
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
