Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Friday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
Sadia Shirazi & Mezna Qato will discuss a series of scores that explore the texture and landscape of exile, resistance, and Muslim sociality. These instructional scores trouble the idea that art and activism are untouched by faith and faith is untouched by art and activism.
A dance party love letter to our community, expressing the joy of relation in the abstract and through actual physical proximity.
Repetitive, mesmerizing rhythmic workouts, to pieces of stark and rigorous introspection, where notes picked and slid in isolation, scatter like mercury around the listener.
Acting at the minimum. Each film here substitutes one small thing for another, (ironically) transforming received meanings by the simplest of actions; often kind of funny too.
This session focuses in on the defiant mutual aid practices of early and DIY feminist movements in the UK, that attempted to shift and radicalise care and kinship away from the domain of the nuclear family.
A beautifully crisp, slowly evolving duo for cello and projected images. Abstract but still figurative; change only noticeable after the fact.
Craig will give a guided reading of his handbook of exemplary instances of literary listening and will be joined by one of the selected authors, Vanessa Place.
A recreation of one of Gustav Metzger’s celebrated auto destructive performances.
A multi-speaker, electronic, spacious and spatial performance from Florian Hecker.
Intriguing, underground, Berlin based musicians interested in the borders between music and theatre, language, the visual arts, politics.
