A filmic constellation exploring Felix Guattari’s anti-patriarchal, anti-colonialist, anti-psychiatric, animist ideas of care and the self. And an Introduction to the Episode.
4 days of workshops, discussions and artists presentations exploring the radical act of caring for each other while working to change the world.

Performances at Anthology Film Archives by by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Alan Licht & Jandek.
A public gathering that brings together local artists, musicians, activists, and community organisers.
In many ways, this Episode is our attempt to engage with Fred’s incredible writing: with his proposal that all black performance (culture, politics, sexuality, identity, and blackness itself) is improvisation.
