An immersive live performance for multiple 16mm film and bass clarinet, taking in the whole gallery, submerging the audience.
A 3-day exploration – through performance, screenings and discussion – of the art and politics of wayward communities who refuse to be bound by the fictions of race and sex.
An open conversation hosted by Saidiya Hartman and Fred Moten around ‘fugitivity’ and ‘waywardness’ and what it means to be in flight, excessive or ungovernable.
A film performance about Guy then, and Guy now, as a metaphor for the passing of time, which of course all film is inherently about.
Offering a crip grief transformation and witness altar. A place to sit and breathe, remember our dead, wash our hands and leave offerings to and for loved ones we’ve lost – and for ourselves. Expect fire and a little bit of smoke. Concluding with a D/deaf centered social space with conversational interpreters available for those who do not speak ASL.

Improvising violinist Angharad Davies performing with pianists Tisha Mukarji and Andrea Neumann.
