The queer archiving of traumatic cultural memory from one of the leading voices working with queer archives.

A specially commissioned performance for organ. “The course of the stars were to be put to sound.”
A festival asking how ideas of nihilism, darkness, subjectivity and abjection play out in experimental music, performance art, horror, neuroscience and philosophy?
