A Festival supporting the struggle for Sex Workers’ Rights: share knowledge, discuss, dance and strategise!
What would a world and an ethics look like free from the destructive consequences of the Western mind?
Beyond time, colorlines, ability, and sexuality, a movement exploration into what it means to see and be seen, how hearing contrast with what is actually being heard.
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.
A prison abolitionist punk video-poetry-music mash up about our fucked-up dystopian society, RoboCop, kids toys and criminality.
The pieces in the programme switch between silent film/ imageless sound, but we wanted to have a think about how ideas can take up residency on either side of the sound/ image border, without having to inhabit both at the same time.

An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.

How do we sense entanglement? Can the knotting of ropes according to a poem’s rhythm make the social pulse of language matter?
