A performance by Storyboard P – one of the greatest Afrofuturist dancers on the planet.
A performance of Ueinzz’s new play. Each Ueinzz performance is a process of reinvention, between exhaustion and a fleeting vision: singular, collective, anonymous, plural, suspensive, intensive, unworking life.
A life force of ecstatic clarity capable of loquacious bursts of affirmation.
A collaborative performance where sound and image are created, performed and mediated by light, water and glass.
Can we use sound, repetition and difference to personally and collectively engage with space, time and labour?
Three documentary films exploring diverse realities of sex workers around the world followed by a closing ceremony of the festival.

A panel exploring the poetics of abolition. “Poetry is not only dream and vision; it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change.”
Performances at Anthology Film Archives by by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Alan Licht & Jandek.
Michael Colligan pressing white hot metal into dry ice, causing the metal to sing and scream.
