Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.
Includes: street portraits of kids in 1930’s Dakota, a mysterious foggy pilgrimage, a swarm of time-lapsed consumers, a stereoscopic analysis of mill life, up close and personal in a Lighting Bolt mosh pit.
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 solo improvisation using just the situation of the concert: a space, a PA, Mattin’s own thoughts, you, the audience.

A conversation about the movement for prison abolition and refusing the logic of race and sex that underpins the criminalisation and mass incarceration of communities.
The first of two short film programmes featuring works that blur the boundaries between music and film from artists who cross and redefine those long held divisions. This programme focuses on the forebearers of filmic and musical innovation over the last 70 years.
