A sound of buzzing and flickering metallic drones, glottal stops and guttural growls, and also an explosiveness and purity of sound that reminds you as much of Bill Dixon as anyone else.

A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
An open conversation around the history and practices of the Ueinzz Theatre Company – a radical Brazilian schizoscenic theatre company of carers, so-called psychotic patients and philosophers.

Vanessa Place talks at The Friday Event series at the Glasgow School of Art about her practice as a writer.
The films in the programme take the essential and fundamental building blocks of cinema (combining sound and image through time) screw about with them, interrogate them and cast them anew.

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 Festival supporting the struggle for Sex Workers’ Rights: share knowledge, discuss, dance and strategise!
