Rather than asking the state for services, what kinds of change are made possible when we prioritise people supporting each other?
Performances at Anthology Film Archives by by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Alan Licht & Jandek.
A voice that can vault from an elegantly whispered insinuation to asphyxiated and murderous barks or squalls in a heartbeat.
Harrowing but musical confrontations with the very real, physical and aural trauma of a woman screaming.
Long Stringed Instrument performance involving up to 100 wires strung in tension over a 40m arch.
Captures the creak and rustle of the forest, with an exhilarating tension let loose in unconfined maniacal and bare-knuckle group thinking.
A panel exploring how to dismantle the master’s house — its material edifices and ideological architecture — and the construction of abolitionist futures in the present.
Individual experience separated by physical boundaries (of space, time or ability) suggested as communities of collective experience by (perhaps voyeuristic) artists.
Electronic music, time, thought, the word, and consecutive matters
Performances at CCA Glasgow by Keiji Haino, My Cat Is An Alien, Taurpis Tula, Jandek with Richard Youngs and Alex Neilson.
A festival hewn from passions for experimental music, film and visual art and for a passion in figuring out how they can relate to, cross-fertilise and inspire and each other.
How do poetry and maths stitch together pictures of our fractured situation from its wreckage and relics, from the debris of hope and the well of residues that make us what we are?
