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.

A discussion about what is at stake in the performance of realness and the practice of passing, and how they are both acts of survival and resistance.
A public walk from George Square to the Barras market bringing contributions from researchers, activists and artists in a form of live critical praxis
