4 days of workshops, discussions and artists presentations exploring the radical act of caring for each other while working to change the world.

Includes: solar flares, insect fireworks, a new film from Ian Helliwell, pulsating glaciers, an apple being eaten alive, sea ravaged stock, crushed blackberries and film that has literally risen from the grave.
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
An immersive live performance for multiple 16mm film and bass clarinet, taking in the whole gallery, submerging the audience.
An extravagant debauch of huge pianos, plush toys, cognac and ritual.
Imagery, drawn from what seems like hundreds of different films is overlaid and combined in a promissory rainbow of new meanings and impossible scenarios, with the unsettling feel of daylight shadows.
