Live ISDN drone performance resonating between Dundee and an empty Montreal Grain Silo.
The club as a community and a site for performed politics: deep/ queer house, vogue femme, lipsync and ballroom.
A simple hands on workshop with micro-radio theorist and pioneer Kogawa.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in a large multi chambered industrial ice house.
Daniel Carter & Sabir Mateen’s trio with percussionist Andrew Barker; incessantly driving forward through sweat-drenched bursts of pure ecstatic freedom.
Jarringly beautiful and often maniacal expression of hallucinatory and very personal visions.
African American history, avant-garde jazz riffs and activism intertwine in experimental verse of extraordinary and affecting beauty that has to be heard.
A trio of Tamio’s screaming and immovable slabs of sound; Mico’s dance/ performance/ piano; Fritz’s absurd, flailing percussion/ voice.
A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.
A conversation of intergenerational trans-resistance and anti-racist fierceness between two of the most inspiring public speakers we know.
Three intimate 45 minute sessions, readings of your political questions – using Tarot, Palmistry, Reiki, Astrology, and Philosophy, and the invented methods of Fake and Political Therapy.
Setting up a minimal procedure to explore the interaction between a person and the (documentary) film/ video process. What initially seems simple ends up contrarily distanced and intimate, public and private.
