An audio/ video, lecture/ performance exploring the queer and companionly inter-activity of human-animal relations.
Artist Derek Lodge running a specially designed social space, somewhere for conversation, story-telling and interaction.

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.
An extravagant debauch of plush toys and ritual. Palestine performed a version of Strumming Music, a trance inducing investigation into overtone systems achievable on a Bosendorfer Imperial Piano.
The second in a series of workshops for workers and non-workers who care. What does the sharing of vulnerability entail? Can such a sharing inform progressive social relations?

Dundee. Progressive rhythmical guitar squall vs. post-highland discorporate dusk-jockey.
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
Imagery, drawn from what seems like hundreds of different films is overlaid and combined in a promissory rainbow of new meanings and impossible scenarios, with the unsettling feel of daylight shadows.
First in a series of workshops for workers and non-workers who care. Does work that asks us to be attentive to the needs of others force us to sell our capacity for kindness?
