Thought and action, writing and protesting. A chat with Nat Raha, KUCHENGA and Jackie Wang asking what can be learnt from writing across genres by agitators, activists and abolitionists?

Noise music for the eyes: projectors turned into instruments, B&W film loops into a thrumming riot of colour, motion and sound.
Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
Dir. Nicolas Philibert
