Temporary Outpost for an Auditory Gesture is a kind of performed installation that explores how sonic phenomena (like feedback, vibration, resonance, echo, rhythm) condition our experience.
A public gathering that brings together local artists, musicians, activists, and community organisers.
Is it possible to dance our way out of the hardened stances and identity prisons we are locked in?
