A collaborative performance where sound and image are created, performed and mediated by light, water and glass.
Long Stringed Instrument performance involving up to 100 wires strung in tension over a 40m arch.
A panel exploring the radical potential of technologies through fugitivity and opacity: their ability to obscure, to make it impossible for us to be known, to render us untraceable by every arm of the state even under the all-consuming spectre of surveillance capital.

A panel exploring how to dismantle the master’s house — its material edifices and ideological architecture — and the construction of abolitionist futures in the present.

A double bill. A simple first person, Dundee-specific tracking shot that approaches the cinema/ screen/ space the film will eventually be shown in and in Brazilian opera house, a fixed camera gazes at a local audience from the stage: a choir, hidden in the orchestra pit, sings and gradually fades to silence.
A discussion about what is at stake in the performance of realness and the practice of passing, and how they are both acts of survival and resistance.
