Quasi-theatrical multiple-projector pieces play with the relationship between performers, art and audiences.
Underground movement legend boychild hosts this workshop—on improvisation, cosmetics, movement and lip-sync.

An open conversation hosted by Saidiya Hartman and Fred Moten around ‘fugitivity’ and ‘waywardness’ and what it means to be in flight, excessive or ungovernable.
A sound diffusion piece by Glasgow University’s Musica Electronica, and a further selection of electroacoustic performances.
