A celebration of our overabundant social entanglement and complicity, that remind us of how we can see ourselves, stripped of powers’ attempts to grasp us.
Open-ended, paradoxical and performed investigations into: misunderstanding, language games, form saturated with sense, and consecutive matters…
A public walk from George Square to the Barras market bringing contributions from researchers, activists and artists in a form of live critical praxis

How do people both inside and outside of prison work together to dismantle the criminal justice system and build a society based on collective care?
The worlds leading radio art station brings you: a performance, a radio show, an installation, an endurance test.
Los Glissandinos work with clarinet and sine tones beating and thrumming in your middle ear, all beautifully paced and serene, but with just enough steely menace broiling under the surface to keep you on edge.
