Performances at Anthology Film Archives by by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Alan Licht & Jandek.
How do people both inside and outside of prison work together to dismantle the criminal justice system and build a society based on collective care?
First in a series of workshops for workers and non-workers who care. Does work that asks us to be attentive to the needs of others force us to sell our capacity for kindness?

Take a break and/ or hang in an Open Meet Up in IRL and URL
The worlds leading radio art station brings you: a performance, a radio show, an installation, an endurance test.
Whether drawing their own fractured, abstract narrative, or re-contextualising, chewing up and spitting out someone else’s, each of the films here take a dramatic arc as their starting point and throw it to the wind.
