Rather than asking the state for services, what kinds of change are made possible when we prioritise people supporting each other?
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an abandoned oil tanker on Hoy.
Two bottomless brunch writing workshops—with readings—speculating the relationship between space, infrastructure, technologies and sex.
