Glasgow. Low-end drone guitarage army in praise of the open chord.
Thinking against the monoculturalism of Western thought—of faith, affection, sexuality and gender—which completely lacks any utility to, or descriptive value of Indigenous worldviews.
Voguing, drag, clubbing, and the politics of communities making different performances of gender and sexuality visible.
Improvising violinist Angharad Davies performing with pianists Tisha Mukarji and Andrea Neumann.
