Patented 60 cycle hums, static pops, and terse electron pinpricks mutated into perfect, post-techno grooves and synaesthesic video
An improvised film about our worlds at the brink, on the edge, in front of a crisis. To stand on the side of life, by seeing the resistance to genocide in Palestine as a turning point to overcome.
A day of presentations and discussions on the theme of audio visual perception in the context of experimental music, film and art.
Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.
A Festival supporting the struggle for Sex Workers’ Rights: share knowledge, discuss, dance and strategise!
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.
Artist Derek Lodge running a specially designed social space, somewhere for conversation, story-telling and interaction.
Do art forms like black radical poetry, free jazz and improvisation create a space for the performance of freedom? Did they ever? And can they still do so now?
Arika is working in partnership with Decriminalised Futures on a multi year collaboration featuring multiple creative projects exploring sex worker lives, experiences and movement struggles.
How can we imagine bodies not as an end in themselves, but as a medium through which we can become one another’s means?
Investigate film as language, via the language of film reduced to the basic units of film and language. A film as text in which each frame is a single word.
A poetic multi-screen performance about “the inadequacy of the arbitrary passing moment and the impossibility of permanence”. About time and change.
