A public walk from George Square to the Barras market bringing contributions from researchers, activists and artists in a form of live critical praxis
A silent collage of found film footage partially layered with computer graphics to provide a framework in which live music can develop.
In Ramayya’s visionary poetry, the body assumes as many forms as love produces states: attraction and repulsion, excitement and exhaustion, selfishness and the dissolution of self.
Ellis’s processional, precessional cessation and continuation of movement and music comes to us via his forthcoming release Aster of Ceremonies (Milkweed Editions, 2023)
A conversation of intergenerational trans-resistance and anti-racist fierceness between two of the most inspiring public speakers we know.
Guy Sherwin gives a kind of annotated, chat through his optical sound films
