The worlds leading radio art station brings you: a performance, a radio show, an installation, an endurance test.
A parody of a (Manhattan) road movie and meditation on bifurcation, in paths traveled between the seen and the heard; a road trip played over and over from different perspectives.
A public walk from George Square to the Barras market bringing contributions from researchers, activists and artists in a form of live critical praxis
Arika is working in partnership with Decriminalised Futures on a multi year collaboration featuring multiple creative projects exploring sex worker lives, experiences and movement struggles.
Performance of a Sudoko based graphic score giving rise to a process of self cancellation.
An utterly deep introspection told in aching, weeping guitar lines; melodic, simple, always minimal but somehow entirely epic.
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
A sung-through Nubian musical ballet. A darkly humorous take on sexual trauma and what magical and ancestral tools might heal it.
Sound as it is endured by space and the body: 15 participants lie face down and pound the floor with a microphone one thousand times, each person choosing their own rhythm and intensity.
Smith/Stewart set up allegorical situations over which they often have little to no control, but which instigate explorations of dependence and trust, the body, sex and death.
An event exploring anarchic and communal situations of musical creation with MV, EE and The Cherry Blossoms.
