Transfeminist, communist, revolutionary poetry that refuses to flinch. Nat Raha presents new work in the nine.

Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
Robin Hayward – exploring the micro-sounds of a tuba, filling slowly with sand.
A performance bearing witness to a struggle built upon patience and collective action from the great multi-instrumentalist and member of the AACM.
