Exploring the interplay between punk sinewave aggression, high-speed video sequences and stroboscopic lighting

A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
A chat with Eugene Thacker. Can we rethink the world as unthinkable, and without us?

The role of feelings in public life, (political) depression and creative survival.
Transfeminist, communist, revolutionary poetry that refuses to flinch. Nat Raha presents new work in the nine.
