A Festival supporting the struggle for Sex Workers’ Rights: share knowledge, discuss, dance and strategise!
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.
Investigating the border between the audible and the visible means looking at the margins, the edges of creativity where artists test out new boundaries and define them anew.
A confrontational and somehow shamanic stance; introspective silences shattered by savage jabs at the strings, whirlwind strums dying into spartan chords
A tour with John Butcher and Akio Suzuki that set out to allow the audience to experience (and to listen to) the enviroment around them in different way.
Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
An improvisation that may or may not involve (typical) improvisation.
All ticket income goes directly to We Will Rise – a group of migrants, refugees, asylum seekers and their allies who have come together to End Immigration Detention in the UK.
A series of events organised by the Vogue’ology collective from the House Ballroom community in New York grounded in the scenes history of autonomous, self-organised struggle and a shared investment in collective art practices and how those intersect with the multiple and often divergent struggles for freedom.
A performance for dry ice and four specially constructed steel tables, each one heated by a single candle until searingly hot.
A solo improvisation using just the situation of the concert: a space, a PA, Mattin’s own thoughts, you, the audience.
A performed self-cancelling discussion, with artists from the festival, invited speakers and local artists talking at once, over each other, or straining to be heard over the din.
