Since the 1960’s Oliverios has had a profound influence on generations of musicians through her work with myth and ritual, improvisation and meditation.
Chip will read some of his great literary pornography, which pushes sexuality to the point of extremity and exhaustion.
In true reality television style, this in-depth artist talk will tackle all the hardest-hitting questions and juiciest details about care, creative collaboration, and disability justice.
The practice of North African Indigenous revolutionary love, in the face of European capitalist violence and settler colonialism, with one of the most vital anti-colonial thinkers in Europe.
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.
A public walk from George Square to the Barras market bringing contributions from researchers, activists and artists in a form of live critical praxis
A performed filmic conversation on queer and black world making.

A meditation on how all of us perform — sometimes reinforcing, sometimes subverting — the shifting categories of gender, sexuality and race.
This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
