Voguing, drag, clubbing, and the politics of communities making different performances of gender and sexuality visible.

Koji Asano, Japanese composer and sound-artist performing slow groaning burbling tones, moaning echoes and drones.

The practice of North African Indigenous revolutionary love, in the face of European capitalist violence and settler colonialism, with one of the most vital anti-colonial thinkers in Europe.
Investigating the border between the audible and the visible means looking at the margins, the edges of creativity where artists test out new boundaries and define them anew.
