In this workshop we will imagine ourselves as time travellers from a glorious and chaotic neurodivergent-led future.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing by the Stones of Stenness, instead of the Ring of Brodgar, because of bad weather.
A public walk from George Square to the Barras market bringing contributions from researchers, activists and artists in a form of live critical praxis
An audio/ video, lecture/ performance exploring the queer and companionly inter-activity of human-animal relations.
A sung-through Nubian musical ballet. A darkly humorous take on sexual trauma and what magical and ancestral tools might heal it.
Cardboard boxes, metal guitar, critical homage, attempts to describe things you can’t describe. A one-man Grand Guignol school play.
Ecstatic, scalding and ludicrously heavy, nobody matches Incapacitants for live noise energy. One of the most exhilarating live acts in underground music.
Two bottomless brunch writing workshops—with readings—speculating the relationship between space, infrastructure, technologies and sex.
Sonic ‘observations’ of the world, through micro recordings on a tiny scale and transformed into something musically compelling.
A multi-speaker, electronic, spacious and spatial performance from Florian Hecker.
With lo-fi dreams and high-def humor, Bande brings MC vibes to the day. Interluding music with spoken performance, the live extimacy of Bande’s presence reaches out via emo-techno-bridges.
A bodiless treatise on narration, bored speakers, audience misbehaviour and police megaphones, but: is anybody listening?
