Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.

A bodiless treatise on narration, bored speakers, audience misbehaviour and police megaphones, but: is anybody listening?

A collaboration bringing together artists with a shared gravitational heft to their work; an intense and concentrated accumulation of detail and power.
A system in which film is projected onto copper strips, captured again and then re-projected as video, somehow transforming the original imagery into molasses-slow, molten and incredibly tactile flickers of colour and light.
Goodwin’s writing emanates from the social life of poetry, from a condition of entanglement before historically racially-specific forms of representation. Another word for this emanation is breath.
