An evening extravaganza celebrating the London launch of Truth & Lies: an Anthology of Writing and Art by Sex Workers
Expect slutty DJs, playful performances, stripper poles, rococo cakes, union broads and intimate readings…
Arika is proud to be one of several arts organisations in Scotland supporting the commissioning of a radical new manifesto, by and for disabled artists working in Scotland.
A speculative narrative film informed by poetry and theories of quantum entanglement across diasporic distance. An intimate exploration of grief and resistance in shifting landscapes of loss, from the streets to the bed.
Austrian guitarist who specialises in a warm digital deconstruction of guitar noise
A fully transcribed, described, and open-captioned film screening that’s nothing short of their actual open heart.
Ken presents his Nervous Magic Lantern, wherein film itself is forsaken for an investigation of hypnotic and trancelike crystaline forms. Eric La Casa works with recordings of everyday occurrences: the background hum of place.
A Festival supporting the struggle for Sex Workers’ Rights: share knowledge, discuss, dance and strategise!
Three short performances involving social exchange (jumpers, hats, glasses…) and singing (ballads)
Laser beam sine tones used to draw delicate, abstract patterns by vibrating charcoal, placed atop of a great strip of paper running through the gallery; beautiful, fragile sound-created autonomous drawing.
Jarringly beautiful and often maniacal expression of hallucinatory and very personal visions.
Poems are kisses, fists, and underground rivers. For all these reasons and many more, I am a poet.
In this workshop we will imagine ourselves as time travellers from a glorious and chaotic neurodivergent-led future.
