Come for the crip ingenuity; stay for the smooth feels of what it is to be each other’s everything.

Artist Derek Lodge running a specially designed social space, somewhere for conversation, story-telling and interaction.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
Juliana’s performances chart the dissonant space and discrepancy between the presumed fixed norms of social life and the fluid lived experience those norms don’t allow for.
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.
The second of two short film programmes featuring works that blur the boundaries between music and film from artists who cross and redefine those long held divisions. This programme highlights contemporary works.
Thuja specialise in a unique and abstract folk music, a devoutly organic tapestry deeply rooted in the sway and bow of nature.
Offering a crip grief transformation and witness altar. A place to sit and breathe, remember our dead, wash our hands and leave offerings to and for loved ones we’ve lost – and for ourselves. Expect fire and a little bit of smoke. Concluding with a D/deaf centered social space with conversational interpreters available for those who do not speak ASL.
