Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
‘Ten Pieces in the Form of Painful Variations’ for piano, an impossible score that looks like a grapeshot musical stave, a text of barbed loathing and doubt – an anti-composition.

Trans-temporal drag, sexuality and the re-staging of illegible moments in history.
Free Jazz group comprising Matt Lavelle, Matt Heyner (TEST, No-Neck Blues Band) and Ryan Sawyer (Tall Firs).
In true reality television style, this in-depth artist talk will tackle all the hardest-hitting questions and juiciest details about care, creative collaboration, and disability justice.

A riot of 60’s psychedelia, magick, ritual and tight black leather, this programme highlights underground innovators who use and subvert pop music for their own experimental ends; and be warned, in Anger, there’s real darkness.
Moor Mother is a musician, Philadelphian housing activist and black quantum futurist.
Tiny fragments of sound recombined and woven into spare and precise, violent yet beautiful pieces
