Transfeminist, communist, revolutionary poetry that refuses to flinch. Nat Raha presents new work in the nine.
The films in the programme take the essential and fundamental building blocks of cinema (combining sound and image through time) screw about with them, interrogate them and cast them anew.

A public gathering that brings together local artists, musicians, activists, and community organisers.
Cardboard boxes, metal guitar, critical homage, attempts to describe things you can’t describe. A one-man Grand Guignol school play.
60 cycle hums, jagged static cracklings, and clipped electron pinpricks, mutating them into sublime, post-techno grooves
