Real-time video feedback loops submerged in laminal sheets of sound soaked in gauzy timbral detail and multi-valenced, buzzing overtones.
The queer archiving of traumatic cultural memory from one of the leading voices working with queer archives.

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.
Join activists, academics and artists as they reflect on abolitionist praxis and thought, exploring covergences with gender, poetry, technology, performance, speculation, aesthetics, film and culture. This series of events commemorates Black August and is for anyone who wishes to answer the abolitionist call to action and thought.
In this workshop we will imagine ourselves as time travellers from a glorious and chaotic neurodivergent-led future.

Jean-Luc Guionnet will be giving a talk as part of the music department’s ongoing series of colloquia.
