A specially commissioned performance for organ. “The course of the stars were to be put to sound.”
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.
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
Beatriz will explore her thinking, on film as translation, plural subjectivity or land-based militancy. Discussion will centre around her work Oriana and its companion piece Oenanthe, which will be screened in full.

In this workshop we will imagine ourselves as time travellers from a glorious and chaotic neurodivergent-led future.
Profound mathematical ideas for romantics, to help us linger in the difference we share.
How do grassroots feminist organisations strategise relationships between mothers, parents, carers and their children based on respect and empowerment, in resistance to the practice of putting children in often the most uncaring of places – care.
Boston duo of saxophonist Bhob Rainey and trumpeter Greg Kelley approach their improvisations with a slew if extended techniques and pregnant silences.
Location: Around and about the old public library in Easterhouse; disinvested in and left to rot by the council but which was shamelessly, hastily and superficially cleaned by them in expectation of our event.
A cast of pioneering and provocative spirits who exist outside the mainstream, between borders and definitions; a series of events that each explore different aspects of music that doesn’t quite fit any given category. INSTAL 08 included the Self-Cancellation project.
