Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
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.
A dialogical meeting of Baraka’s radical poetry and Grimes’ free jazz syncopation.
Dworkin asks: What would a non-expressive poetry look like? A poetry of intellect rather than emotion?
Transfeminist, communist, revolutionary poetry that refuses to flinch. Nat Raha presents new work in the nine.

A performance of Ueinzz’s new play. Each Ueinzz performance is a process of reinvention, between exhaustion and a fleeting vision: singular, collective, anonymous, plural, suspensive, intensive, unworking life.
A space to reflect on our own experiences with the police and explore more community and care-based ways of dealing with violence and difficulties in our lives.
A queer black operatic requiem for piano and voice that asks us to stay in the hold of the slave ship, that tries to understand the connection from the slave ship to the prison.
