Droner responsible for Fordell Research Unit, Muscletusk’s murk manipulator and Metzian concrete-mixer cement international relations and yr heids.
How can we imagine bodies not as an end in themselves, but as a medium through which we can become one another’s means?
(Cyber)feminist, non-essentialist transgender and queer daily radio shows using the formula of morning radio as an arch way of thinking about the scripted behaviour and controlled empathy of systematic care.
Join Umbrella Lane and special guest migrant trans sex workers in a community discussion about the points of intersection in LGBT people’s rights and sex worker’s rights.
Like walking through the abstracted amalgamation of 30 or so storms, trays of water shaken by thunder, light bouncing off pools.
A queer black operatic requiem for piano and voice that asks us to stay in the hold of the slave ship, that tries to understand the connection from the slave ship to the prison.
No Wave, damaged garage jams and crazed instant vocal shrieks.
The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
Our favourite Lancashire-born autodictact asks what’s political about the tension between the individual and the collective in free jazz.
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
The session – aimed specifically at white people – will be run by Tripod. We will explore and address whiteness, embodied responses to racial tension and somatic techniques to build resilience for practicing anti-racist action. It will be a space to learn and transform together and look at further anti-racist resources and work.
A dialogical meeting of Baraka’s radical poetry and Grimes’ free jazz syncopation.
