A filmic constellation exploring Felix Guattari’s anti-patriarchal, anti-colonialist, anti-psychiatric, animist ideas of care and the self. And an Introduction to the Episode.
A festival hewn from passions for experimental music, film and visual art and for a passion in figuring out how they can relate to, cross-fertilise and inspire and each other.
Light Music is a dizzying celebration of the pivotal nature of sound in film; a direct and powerful transcription of film as sound.
(Cyber)feminist, non-essentialist transgender and queer daily radio shows using the formula of morning radio as an arch way of thinking about the scripted behaviour and controlled empathy of systematic care.
A performance by Storyboard P – one of the greatest Afrofuturist dancers on the planet.
A drone installation populated by flourescent strip lights working in complicity with analogue radios – “all the lights just do their thing”.
A discussion about what is at stake in the performance of realness and the practice of passing, and how they are both acts of survival and resistance.
Dworkin asks: What would a non-expressive poetry look like? A poetry of intellect rather than emotion?
In Our Hands is a nine week programme of workshops exploring radical approaches to health and collective care in the movement for liberation and social justice.
A performed lecture concerned with Renaissance occult (musical) thinkers of the cosmic who put forward the notion of the “disharmony of the world”
A series of reality dramas happening over the course of the weekend.
A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
