A series of reality dramas happening over the course of the weekend.
 
Radical transfeminism aims to hold the space for finding relations between the ruins of the everyday. Emerging from the debris, spaces for politics find form as poetics to carry understandings, actions and be/longings.
 
Noise music for the eyes: projectors turned into instruments, B&W film loops into a thrumming riot of colour, motion and sound.
 
A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
 
This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
 
A space to reflect on our own experiences with the police and explore more community and care-based ways of dealing with violence and difficulties in our lives.
 
A party and fundraiser to support Sex Workers’ struggles and LGBT Unity with music and performances from the sex workers’ community and allies, plus DJ’s and dancing.
 
Solo organ performance by German composer Eva-Maria Houben, which focuses on ‘nearly nothing’ to expand the way we listen.
 
A series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).
 
Craig will give a guided reading of his handbook of exemplary instances of literary listening and will be joined by one of the selected authors, Vanessa Place.
