An open conversation hosted by Saidiya Hartman and Fred Moten around ‘fugitivity’ and ‘waywardness’ and what it means to be in flight, excessive or ungovernable.

A festival asking how ideas of nihilism, darkness, subjectivity and abjection play out in experimental music, performance art, horror, neuroscience and philosophy?
A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).
Guitar and voice. Keening, droning and mourning. Be ready to release and bring your dis-ease.

Open community meeting to discuss some of the prevalent concerns impacting the ballroom community.
The club as a community and a site for performed politics: deep/ queer house, vogue femme, lipsync and ballroom.
A recording session for BBC Radio Scotland under the M74 ‘Ski Jump’ extension ramp, a secion of motorway that doesn’t go anywhere, one of several such structures that populate the motorway system in the centre of Glasgow.
An improvised film about our worlds at the brink, on the edge, in front of a crisis. To stand on the side of life, by seeing the resistance to genocide in Palestine as a turning point to overcome.
