A Festival supporting the struggle for Sex Workers’ Rights: share knowledge, discuss, dance and strategise!
A trance inducing, flickering investigation of structural and minimalist droning from one of the key thinkers in sound and image over the last 50 years
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an abandoned oil tanker on Hoy.
Part old-fashioned Renaissance man, part hardcore avant-gardist, the Canadian painter-photographer-filmmaker-musician gives full vent to his genius in the exhilarating perceptual vaudeville, named after the ‘central region’ of tissue that acts as a conduit between the brain’s two hemispheres.
A drone installation populated by flourescent strip lights working in complicity with analogue radios – “all the lights just do their thing”.

A trio of Tamio’s screaming and immovable slabs of sound; Mico’s dance/ performance/ piano; Fritz’s absurd, flailing percussion/ voice.
A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.
Where we join Nackt Insecten’s disembodied spectral howls and heavyweight locomotive drones about SPT’s Subway.
Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
On the birthday of Marsha P. Johnson, this event brings together several elements that celebrate the radical care and kinship characteristic of the Trans revolutionary.
