Exploring the interplay between punk sinewave aggression, high-speed video sequences and stroboscopic lighting
A speculative narrative film informed by poetry and theories of quantum entanglement across diasporic distance. An intimate exploration of grief and resistance in shifting landscapes of loss, from the streets to the bed.
Nina’s going to talk about November, by Hito Steyerl: what and how the film thinks, or about what and how it might makes us think (which is connected, but not the same thing), by watching, and it discussing (with you?).
Profound mathematical ideas for romantics, to help us linger in the difference we share.
Chip will read some of his great literary pornography, which pushes sexuality to the point of extremity and exhaustion.
A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
This performance brings together film, text and speech and temporarily constructs a filmic space to think through questions of resistance, and the choice and consequence of action vs. inaction: what does it mean to choose to not take part?
Harrowing but musical confrontations with the very real, physical and aural trauma of a woman screaming.
Watching films and chatting with Karrabing members about those films: as they attend to the memory and practice of the ancestral present and the ancestral catastrophe that Karrabing and their more-than-human world find themselves facing.
A temporary archive and research space tracing the ways in which sound and audition move through everyday life.
Brother and sister stumble over the early morning horizon in a spectral haze of emotionally devastating lunar vocals and oblique, lithium-soaked folk.
