What does it mean to listen with the mind as well as the ears? A solo performance from the great avant-garde pianist.
Long Stringed Instrument performance involving up to 100 wires strung in tension over a 40m arch.
A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.
Koji Asano, Japanese composer and sound-artist performing slow groaning burbling tones, moaning echoes and drones.
Deliberately blurred drones, absent of definite structure or rhythm, framed in silence and devoid of any distraction from the pure matter of sound.
A conversation between Philip and Moten: how do we read NourbeSe’s anti-narrative poetic lament in Glasgow today, given the city’s role in the history of slavery?
A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
A fully transcribed, described, and open-captioned film screening that’s nothing short of their actual open heart.
Social and party with all proceeds going to the Unity Centre, featuring DJ SETS with Dj@Christelle, DJ D-Harsh, Nena Etza & Moor Mother.
What would a world and an ethics look like free from the destructive consequences of the Western mind?
Ian and Gil will host a discussion on the Argument project’s social and political commentaries, and with you try and maybe think through whether and how they might still have some currency today: what’s changed and what’s stayed the same?
Exploring the interplay between punk sinewave aggression, high-speed video sequences and stroboscopic lighting
