The session – aimed specifically at white people – will be run by Tripod.

‘Ten Pieces in the Form of Painful Variations’ for piano, an impossible score that looks like a grapeshot musical stave, a text of barbed loathing and doubt – an anti-composition.
A mixture of investigation groups, live performances, screenings and installations at DCA; the festival looked to strip back music, sound, film and moving image to their core ideas and explore them with artists and audiences.
A public walk from George Square to the Barras market bringing contributions from researchers, activists and artists in a form of live critical praxis
How do we sense entanglement? Can the knotting of ropes according to a poem’s rhythm make the social pulse of language matter?
