A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
First in a series of workshops for workers and non-workers who care. Does work that asks us to be attentive to the needs of others force us to sell our capacity for kindness?
Chris Corsano, Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in the Hamilton Mausoleum, Hamilton.
Vajra are a Japanese psychedelic rock supergroup, hewn from the collective consciousness of Fushitsusha’s Keiji Haino, folk radical Kan Mikami and percussionist Toshiaki Ishitsuka.
A chill sex worker only breakfast hang, hosted by Scotland for Decrim, with delicious vegan, vegetarian, meaty, gluten free options & fresh coffee. (Both present & past lived experience welcome).
Using violin and cello the duo map out a twilight sonic world that seems to tread the faultlines between improvisation and composition.
A public gathering that brings together local artists, musicians, activists, and community organisers.
A dance party love letter to our community, expressing the joy of relation in the abstract and through actual physical proximity.
A whistle stop tour of visual and material culture that has anchored the sex workers rights movement through the decades until today.
(Cyber)feminist, non-essentialist transgender and queer daily radio shows using the formula of morning radio as an arch way of thinking about the scripted behaviour and controlled empathy of systematic care.
Three days of discussions, performances, actions, dancing and food – continuing No Total’s ongoing contemplation of ways of being together and the ways Arika have been entangled in those, ever since Episode 4.
