A performance for projectionist, musicians and audience, which plays with references to Oscar Levant and Gershwin: apparently a series of small doses of chaos.
Vanessa Place talks at The Friday Event series at the Glasgow School of Art about her practice as a writer.
Sound as it is endured by space and the body: 15 participants lie face down and pound the floor with a microphone one thousand times, each person choosing their own rhythm and intensity.
A screening of short films by queer sex workers, who reclaim the authorship of intimacy.
Sadia Shirazi & Mezna Qato will discuss a series of scores that explore the texture and landscape of exile, resistance, and Muslim sociality. These instructional scores trouble the idea that art and activism are untouched by faith and faith is untouched by art and activism.
Solo performance by Diamanda Galás one of the great artists of the last forty years. Hers is an emotional expressionism of demonic shrieks, operatic falsettos, glottal clicks and diabolical growls.

Daniel Carter & Sabir Mateen’s trio with percussionist Andrew Barker; incessantly driving forward through sweat-drenched bursts of pure ecstatic freedom.
Why won’t the idea of the particle or individual go away? Is the measurement problem in physics a documentary film issue? What can a human be without its crutches of life-time and measure?
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
A whistle stop tour of visual and material culture that has anchored the sex workers rights movement through the decades until today.
A 100 strong Feral Choir of people who’ve never improvised with their voices before, conducted by composer Phil Minton.
