A silent performance of (musical) reverberation.
A performance bearing witness to a struggle built upon patience and collective action from the great multi-instrumentalist and member of the AACM.

Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
A fully transcribed, described, and open-captioned film screening that’s nothing short of their actual open heart.
An assembly to try and provide some experiential and theoretical resources for the renewal of a certain affective, extra-political sociality, in the face of one of our great adversaries; the forces of colonial, imperial, genocidal denial.

Performances of compositions by Jean-Luc Guionnet and others, with Julia Letitia Scott, Iain Campbell F-W, Neil Davidson, Fritz Welch, Liene Rozite, Emilia Beatriz.
