A series of reality dramas happening over the course of the weekend.
Bleu Shut reveals, and allows us to enjoy, our gullibility within the pervasive absurdity of modern life.
Two bottomless brunch writing workshops—with readings—speculating the relationship between space, infrastructure, technologies and sex.

A performative survey of listening, as we managed to find it being used as a tool in different practices, disciplines and communities in North America (music, poetry, film, philosophy, activism…).
