Can we find ideas of queer anarchism, failure and low theory in popular culture?
Where we join Nackt Insecten’s disembodied spectral howls and heavyweight locomotive drones about SPT’s Subway.
No Wave, damaged garage jams and crazed instant vocal shrieks.
Rather than asking the state for services, what kinds of change are made possible when we prioritise people supporting each other?
What’s the relationship between the eternal hum of the oceanic beloved and the persistence of vorticity in fluid dynamics? And how does Alice Coltrane’s harp help us stay there?
A public gathering that brings together local artists, musicians, activists, and community organisers.
An utterly deep introspection told in aching, weeping guitar lines; melodic, simple, always minimal but somehow entirely epic.

This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
Ubuntu Women Shelter, National Ugly Mugs and the Sex Workers Union warmly invite you to a generative conversation (and Q&A) about the needs and rights of migrant sex workers in Scotland.
Audio signals pass through light bulbs, causing the filaments of the bulbs to sing and crackle in a chorus of electronic static.
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.
