Transfeminist, communist, revolutionary poetry that refuses to flinch. Nat Raha presents new work in the nine.
Improvising violinist Angharad Davies performing with pianists Tisha Mukarji and Andrea Neumann.
Black Boned Angel’s is a rock sound, stripped of all extraneous detail right down to its core, stretched out and nailed to the ceiling.
A dance party love letter to our community, expressing the joy of relation in the abstract and through actual physical proximity.
Acting at the minimum. Each film here substitutes one small thing for another, (ironically) transforming received meanings by the simplest of actions; often kind of funny too.
