A historical narrative of the black and Latino/a transgender, bisexual, lesbian, and gay House and Ballroom Scene in relation to race, gender, sexuality and class oppressions.
A glance at both analogue and digital processes; the clarity and precision of digital colour or the yawning, endless depth of dye and emulsion, our programme celebrates how both approaches revel in colour, saturation, hue and tone.
An LSD trip gone right via dense explorations of post-Fahey steel and low level drone.
A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.

A prison abolitionist punk video-poetry-music mash up about our fucked-up dystopian society, RoboCop, kids toys and criminality.
Umeda is a Japanese artist who is as fascinated in setting up interesting situations to observe, as he is in creating performances.
