Exploring the interplay between punk sinewave aggression, high-speed video sequences and stroboscopic lighting

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.
The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
Boston duo of saxophonist Bhob Rainey and trumpeter Greg Kelley approach their improvisations with a slew if extended techniques and pregnant silences.
