Leading language/ action/ sound poet performed his groundbreaking concrete poem, a dizzying mandala of text, symbols and rubber stamps; a kind of book as reading machine.
Ex-Decaer Pinga and CKDH rodeo queens; regular ladynoise hoedown gets gatecrashed by sonic chunder-huffing remedial clatter boys.
The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
Transfeminist, communist, revolutionary poetry that refuses to flinch. Nat Raha presents new work in the nine.

A short chat about what we (Arika) might be trying to do with our program for the Biennial.
