Do ideas emerging from particle physics help to re-think of blackness as a mode of life in which it’s possible to practice difference without separation?
A sort of prayer and conference, a sort of scream and dialogue – a monologue and declaration at the time, addressing how we can build complicity with one another.

Edinburgh. Beer and smoke befuddled drone/ deadly efforts by Pjorn72 kingpin.

Electronic music, time, thought, the word, and consecutive matters
Jarrod Fowler creates a social space where layered one-to-one live encounters with the audience become sonic material.

This trans-exclusive workshop, co-facilitated by River McAskill, River Molloy and Zinzi Buchanan, offers body-focused exercises and creative practices for a trans-exclusive space, situated within the present local and global climate. We will bring an array of offerings related to the question: how can we take care of ourselves and one another, when we can’t trust state systems to take care of us? Come as you are and bring anything that adds to your comfort.
Can we find ideas of queer anarchism, failure and low theory in popular culture?
