Borders between Mathematics, Gestures and Dance

Revolution is not a one-time event
Join activists, academics and artists as they reflect on abolitionist praxis and thought, exploring covergences with gender, poetry, technology, performance, speculation, aesthetics, film and culture. This series of events commemorates Black August and is for anyone who wishes to answer the abolitionist call to action and thought.

Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.

Masayoshi Urabe
Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
