Performance of a Sudoko based graphic score giving rise to a process of self cancellation.
Social and party with all proceeds going to the Unity Centre, featuring DJ SETS with Dj@Christelle, DJ D-Harsh, Nena Etza & Moor Mother.
How do we gesture to the invisible, the trans or the obscure? A performative conversation between boychild and Fernando, a sharing of gestures, and a bodily back and forth between mathematician and dance artist.

Vanessa Place talks at The Friday Event series at the Glasgow School of Art about her practice as a writer.
