Transfeminist, communist, revolutionary poetry that refuses to flinch. Nat Raha presents new work in the nine.

Performing with hand built radio transmitters, which react to interference in the atmosphere and the electrical impedance of his hands, his radio art is a form of social practice; a statement in opposition to mass media.

What does it mean to listen with the mind as well as the ears? A solo performance from the great avant-garde pianist.
The queer archiving of traumatic cultural memory from one of the leading voices working with queer archives.
Setting up a minimal procedure to explore the interaction between a person and the (documentary) film/ video process. What initially seems simple ends up contrarily distanced and intimate, public and private.
