Writing that shows us that, even in struggle, there is light to be let in.
How do communities practice being one another’s means, addressing their material problems facing them replicating the state’s violent logic of who is disposable.
Profound mathematical ideas for romantics, to help us linger in the difference we share.
Live in person at Performance Space New York and live-streamed everywhere! Watching Storyboard P dance feels like glimpsing into another world.
Experience a sense of being in the world, in a specific space and time. Including Jeanne Liotta’s recordings of the ionosphere and Walter Ruttmann’s radical 35mm precursor to musique concrète.
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.
