During Episode 9 we made this clip with Storyboard P at Kinning Park Complex. Video by Ash Reid.

Come for the crip ingenuity; stay for the smooth feels of what it is to be each other’s everything.
Jarrod Fowler and Christof Migone kick things off with performances involving edible plants, a saw, dandruff, and Christof responding to the prompt: “as far as you can for as long as you can.”
Writing that shows us that, even in struggle, there is light to be let in.
The 2006 INSTAL festival saw a broad selection of artists that included Blood Stereo and Ludo Mich, Ellen Fullman and Sean Meehan, Keiji Haino and Tony Conrad and a specially created performance by Maryanne Amacher.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in a remote sea cave near Durness.
Criminal Queers visualises a radical trans/queer struggle against the prison industrial complex, working to abolish the multiple ways our hearts, genders, and desires are confined.
