(Cyber)feminist, non-essentialist transgender and queer daily radio shows using the formula of morning radio as an arch way of thinking about the scripted behaviour and controlled empathy of systematic care.

A kind of an informal overview of INSTAL.
Arrive, get settled, be hosted and meet-up in IRL and URL.

A fully transcribed, described, and open-captioned film screening that’s nothing short of their actual open heart.
Investigate film as language, via the language of film reduced to the basic units of film and language. A film as text in which each frame is a single word.
