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?).
Film and sound stripped of ‘content’ and experienced spatially, to be looked at not on the screen but in the space of the gallery

In rethinking the body, the law, the state, gender, race, violence, care and empathy, how we might give humanness a different future?
A rare live performance which, although not a full installation, made use of the unique acoustic and spatial properties of the Arches to rattle the audience and help it locate its third ear.
