I wanna be with you everywhere was a gathering of, by, and for disabled artists and writers and anyone who wanted to get with us for a series of crip meet-ups, performances, readings and other social spaces of surplus, abundance and joy.
A dialogical meeting of Baraka’s radical poetry and Grimes’ free jazz syncopation.
A multi-speaker, electronic, spacious and spatial performance from Florian Hecker.

An assembly to try and provide some experiential and theoretical resources for the renewal of a certain affective, extra-political sociality, in the face of one of our great adversaries; the forces of colonial, imperial, genocidal denial.
Light Music is a dizzying celebration of the pivotal nature of sound in film; a direct and powerful transcription of film as sound.
A Festival supporting the struggle for Sex Workers’ Rights: share knowledge, discuss, dance and strategise!

How can we imagine bodies not as an end in themselves, but as a medium through which we can become one another’s means?
Julius’ “small music” features simple snatches of found sound, played back through small speakers, often set in bowls of pigment and dirt which shimmies in the vibrations.
An open-ended moment in an ongoing series of films, notes, performances, diagrams and drawings which trace the questions they share. A “porous space between cinema time-space and lived time-space.”
