A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
Free-jazz chat with Sabir Mateen, Daniel Cater, Andrew Barker – hosted by Byron Coley.
Merzbow takes the junk of sound and transforms it into blistering noise assaults with an incredible spectrum and impact.
This programme is a celebration of Charlemagne Palestine; passionate, extravagant, visceral. Including two sections from Ritual dans le Vide, an extension of his ‘running camera’ works of the 70’s and Pip Chodorov’s vibrant workout of a live version of Strumming Music.
An improvisation that may or may not involve (typical) improvisation.
A performed filmic conversation on queer and black world making.
Do ideas emerging from particle physics help to re-think of blackness as a mode of life in which it’s possible to practice difference without separation?
“Beginning where you and me ends, where we don’t so much come but are already here.” Join James and Nisha to talk about breath, erotics and flesh, about our social, poetic cosubstantiality.
A public gathering that brings together local artists, musicians, activists, and community organisers.
A mixture of investigation groups, live performances, screenings and installations at DCA; the festival looked to strip back music, sound, film and moving image to their core ideas and explore them with artists and audiences.
A sort of prayer and conference, a sort of scream and dialogue – a monologue and declaration at the time, addressing how we can build complicity with one another.
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
