Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
Can a musician create a sonic photograph; something with a depth of field, where you can hear sounds and their interconnections, much as you see objects and their relationships in a photo? Could a filmmaker use musical concepts to represent landscape?
Thuja specialise in a unique and abstract folk music, a devoutly organic tapestry deeply rooted in the sway and bow of nature.
A parody of a (Manhattan) road movie and meditation on bifurcation, in paths traveled between the seen and the heard; a road trip played over and over from different perspectives.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
As part of Karrabing’s visit to Scotland, the collective will be hosted for three days in the Isle of Skye by The School of Plural Futures.

A public gathering that brings together local artists, musicians, activists, and community organisers.
African American history, avant-garde jazz riffs and activism intertwine in experimental verse of extraordinary and affecting beauty that has to be heard.
The role of feelings in public life, (political) depression and creative survival.
A performance for dry ice and four specially constructed steel tables, each one heated by a single candle until searingly hot.
A joyful conversation discussing disability, gender transition and care labour as expressions of virtuosic and innovative skills that make care – good care – possible.
