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

Droner responsible for Fordell Research Unit, Muscletusk’s murk manipulator and Metzian concrete-mixer cement international relations and yr heids.

A performance by Storyboard P – one of the greatest Afrofuturist dancers on the planet.
A riot of 60’s psychedelia, magick, ritual and tight black leather, this programme highlights underground innovators who use and subvert pop music for their own experimental ends; and be warned, in Anger, there’s real darkness.
Work that focuses in on the static hiss and background noise of recording and pushes it to the fore.
