TEST featuring Fred Moten

Daniel Carter Matt Heyner Sabir Mateen Tom Bruno Fred Moten

TEST is a collective creative improvising quartet based out of the NYC Underground (figuratively and literally). Their street-hardened, spatial Jazz is riotous and intense: is also makes us think about collective organization, and different ideas of responsibility and liberty.

Nina Power discussing November

Hito Steyerl Nina Power

Nina’s going to talk about November, by Hito Steyerl: what and how the film thinks, or about what and how it might makes us think (which is connected, but not the same thing), by watching, and it discussing (with you?).

Episode 1: A Film is a Statement
Film still from A Plot, A Scandal. A person is sits on top of a thick fur blanket or rug. They are sat on their bottom, their right hand and leg are raised up. In their hand they hold a what looks like a wooden pole. They are dressed in lilac silk and wear a wig of light curly hair, like a judge’s wig. It is a staged environment with a cast of yellow light highlighting the figure.
