A festival asking how ideas of nihilism, darkness, subjectivity and abjection play out in experimental music, performance art, horror, neuroscience and philosophy?
Three speakers play back pre-recorded sounds, Marc listens and responds: “What is played is the imperfect witness of what I listen to (or maybe better, how I listen).”
In this response to the Self Cancellation project, Lee Patterson dissolves medicine in glasses of water and explores the sonic content.

Jacobs’ pulsing and abstract 3D Nervous Magic Lantern performance grounded by Eric La Casa’s manipulated recordings of everyday locations.
When we look, how do we objectify the body; how can we reflect on our (self) image as a construction?
Noise music for the eyes: projectors turned into instruments, B&W film loops into a thrumming riot of colour, motion and sound.

A conversation about the movement for prison abolition and refusing the logic of race and sex that underpins the criminalisation and mass incarceration of communities.
A collaborative performance where sound and image are created, performed and mediated by light, water and glass.
A Festival supporting the struggle for Sex Workers’ Rights: share knowledge, discuss, dance and strategise!
