Two-parts Helhesten spit strangled shanties and cracked reeds from under a net of the Glasgow Improv Orchestra’s six-strings and one moustache.
Christian Bök‘s work spans thrillingly conceptual poetry to body-shaking vocal performances.
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.

This series of events commemorates Black August and is for anyone who wishes to answer the abolitionist call to action and thought.
Sadia Shirazi & Mezna Qato will discuss a series of scores that explore the texture and landscape of exile, resistance, and Muslim sociality. These instructional scores trouble the idea that art and activism are untouched by faith and faith is untouched by art and activism.
This programme takes human subjects as the focus for sound and image construction. And it includes a couple of masterpieces of experimental film: Paul Sharits’ deeply empathetic interpretation of epilepsy and Peter Kubelka’s Webern inspired abstract portrait of Arnulf Rainer.
