Simon Morris is joined by Nick Thurston as they attempt to read aloud whilst peddling on exercise bikes.
Voguing, drag, clubbing, and the politics of communities making different performances of gender and sexuality visible.

In Our Hands is a nine week programme of workshops exploring radical approaches to health and collective care in the movement for liberation and social justice.

Includes: tamed TV snow, video feedback of racing particles, a remake of a polish photogram film destroyed in WWII, a visual and aural representation of Gestalt theory, hole-punched film and Guy Sherwin’s Cycles 3 double-projection.
