A Festival supporting the struggle for Sex Workers’ Rights: share knowledge, discuss, dance and strategise!
When we look, how do we objectify the body; how can we reflect on our (self) image as a construction?
Imagery, drawn from what seems like hundreds of different films is overlaid and combined in a promissory rainbow of new meanings and impossible scenarios, with the unsettling feel of daylight shadows.
Jarringly beautiful and often maniacal expression of hallucinatory and very personal visions.
A collaborative performance where sound and image are created, performed and mediated by light, water and glass.
In this workshop we will imagine ourselves as time travellers from a glorious and chaotic neurodivergent-led future.
First in a series of workshops for workers and non-workers who care. Does work that asks us to be attentive to the needs of others force us to sell our capacity for kindness?
The struggle for sex workers’ rights and how we can understand it in the continuum of care work and other forms of invisibilised and precarious work.
MICRO 1 – Wrap a live microphone with a very large sheet of paper. Make a light bundle. Keep the microphone live for another 5 minutes. T. Kosugi – (1961)
A series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).
Former street performer, organist, performance artist, circus performer, harpist, accordion player, tree surgeon and tricyclist performing solo.
A performative survey of listening, as we managed to find it being used as a tool in different practices, disciplines and communities in North America (music, poetry, film, philosophy, activism…).
