Multiple images, glimpses of old films, abstract images in the midst of an electro-acoustic sound field of tape loops & analogue synthesizers
Tiny fragments of sound recombined and woven into spare and precise, violent yet beautiful pieces
Investigate film as language, via the language of film reduced to the basic units of film and language. A film as text in which each frame is a single word.
Is it possible to dance our way out of the hardened stances and identity prisons we are locked in?
Criminal Queers visualises a radical trans/queer struggle against the prison industrial complex, working to abolish the multiple ways our hearts, genders, and desires are confined.
A back and forth between Fred and Fernando on the transits and obstructions between mathematics and poetics, and how both help us to think from the other side.
An extravagant debauch of huge pianos, plush toys, cognac and ritual.
A panel exploring the radical potential of technologies through fugitivity and opacity: their ability to obscure, to make it impossible for us to be known, to render us untraceable by every arm of the state even under the all-consuming spectre of surveillance capital.
Solo performance by Diamanda Galás one of the great artists of the last forty years. Hers is an emotional expressionism of demonic shrieks, operatic falsettos, glottal clicks and diabolical growls.
Live ISDN drone performance resonating between Dundee and an empty Montreal Grain Silo.
A performed filmic conversation on queer and black world making.
A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.
