How do communities practice being one another’s means, addressing their material problems facing them replicating the state’s violent logic of who is disposable.
Julius’ “small music” features simple snatches of found sound, played back through small speakers, often set in bowls of pigment and dirt which shimmies in the vibrations.

Voguing, drag, clubbing, and the politics of communities making different performances of gender and sexuality visible.

A queer black operatic requiem for piano and voice that asks us to stay in the hold of the slave ship, that tries to understand the connection from the slave ship to the prison.
