A recently reanimated Ascension, with mighty Leeds drum hero Paul Hession bringing a dense polyrhythmic torrent into play with Jaworzyn’s reinvigorated piercing guitar.
“Hidden in the hands an alluvial transcription of reach and embrace. The final flickers of the body’s expression, caress and touch.” – boychild
(Cyber)feminist, non-essentialist transgender and queer daily radio shows using the formula of morning radio as an arch way of thinking about the scripted behaviour and controlled empathy of systematic care.
A film installation as both allegory and investigation of The Rockridge Institute and their research into ‘framing’ and the use of metaphor within political discourse.
A collaborative performance where sound and image are created, performed and mediated by light, water and glass.
Open community meeting to discuss some of the prevalent concerns impacting the ballroom community.
Beatriz will explore her thinking, on film as translation, plural subjectivity or land-based militancy. Discussion will centre around her work Oriana and its companion piece Oenanthe, which will be screened in full.
A kind of performed installation of searing noise and silence, where we’re not sure who the performer is, when it starts or ends or even who it’s for.
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.
Chip will read some of his great literary pornography, which pushes sexuality to the point of extremity and exhaustion.
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
The queer archiving of traumatic cultural memory from one of the leading voices working with queer archives.
