Temporary Outpost for an Auditory Gesture is a kind of performed installation that explores how sonic phenomena (like feedback, vibration, resonance, echo, rhythm) condition our experience.
A kind of performed installation of searing noise and silence, where we’re not sure who the performer is, when it starts or ends or even who it’s for.
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
In the Foyer at the Tramway we will screen a documentary from the Sex Workers’ Festival of Resistance 2017 and La Llamada by Eduardo Restrepo Castaño.
In Our Hands is a ten week programme of workshops facilitated by Lisa Fannen, Omikemi and Clay. The sessions explore radical approaches to health and collective care in the context of movement for liberation and social justice.

A conversation of intergenerational trans-resistance and anti-racist fierceness between two of the most inspiring public speakers we know.
Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
Slapstick comedy, monologue, and a kind of live sculpture transformed through video, props, musical instruments and make-up.
