In true reality television style, this in-depth artist talk will tackle all the hardest-hitting questions and juiciest details about care, creative collaboration, and disability justice.
Killer of Sheep is an undisputed masterpiece of African-American filmmaking and one of the most poetic, perceptive dramas ever made about family and community.
One of the great experimental films. A 60 minute, three part riddle that maybe approximates our intellectual development by moving from imageless words to the recognition of silent images and the learning of simple tasks and finally a serenity and acceptance of death.
A dialogical meeting of Baraka’s radical poetry and Grimes’ free jazz syncopation.
During Episode 9 we made this clip with Storyboard P at Kinning Park Complex. Video by Ash Reid.
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.
A performative survey of listening, as we managed to find it being used as a tool in different practices, disciplines and communities in North America (music, poetry, film, philosophy, activism…).
Part old-fashioned Renaissance man, part hardcore avant-gardist, the Canadian painter-photographer-filmmaker-musician gives full vent to his genius in the exhilarating perceptual vaudeville, named after the ‘central region’ of tissue that acts as a conduit between the brain’s two hemispheres.
Trans-temporal drag, sexuality and the re-staging of illegible moments in history.
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
