Repetitive, mesmerizing rhythmic workouts, to pieces of stark and rigorous introspection, where notes picked and slid in isolation, scatter like mercury around the listener.

Take a break and/ or hang in an Open Meet Up in IRL and URL
A bodiless treatise on narration, bored speakers, audience misbehaviour and police megaphones, but: is anybody listening?
The first of two workshops that highlight correspondence as a way of working. Somewhere between song, speech, and logistical arrangement, these workshops invite participants to consider care as infrastructure.
Can we use sound, repetition and difference to personally and collectively engage with space, time and labour?

4 days of workshops, discussions and artists presentations exploring the radical act of caring for each other while working to change the world.
Rather than asking the state for services, what kinds of change are made possible when we prioritise people supporting each other?
What might Carter and Parker’s collaboration tell us about our own performances of responsibility and liberty, whether individual, social or musical?
A collaborative performance where sound and image are created, performed and mediated by light, water and glass.
