A performance by Storyboard P – one of the greatest Afrofuturist dancers on the planet.
A conversation between Philip and Moten: how do we read NourbeSe’s anti-narrative poetic lament in Glasgow today, given the city’s role in the history of slavery?
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.

The struggle for sex workers’ rights and how we can understand it in the continuum of care work and other forms of invisibilised and precarious work.
