A conversation of intergenerational trans-resistance and anti-racist fierceness between two of the most inspiring public speakers we know.
An invitation into languages field of touch; to speak in feeling together.
Jandek’s second ever live performance, and the first to be advertised in advance.
A chat with Rashad about the communist, conceptual methodology that informs his ground-breaking synthetic music—a form of speculative sonic fiction writing to produce hyperreal non-representational auditive experiences.
Emotional fantasies, towers of cakes, identity troubles, collapsed distance and time and Samuel R. Delany’s rarely seen 1971 film The Orchid.
