How black radical practices of abolition imagine a way out of the caging and mass killing of life.
One of the most arresting and unique improvisers in Japan, creating an original and powerful body of free music.
Acting at the minimum. Each film here substitutes one small thing for another, (ironically) transforming received meanings by the simplest of actions; often kind of funny too.
Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
Like walking through the abstracted amalgamation of 30 or so storms, trays of water shaken by thunder, light bouncing off pools.
A dense materialist experience at the limits of contemporary computer music, drawing on Korean Shamanism and Communism; striving to create a strange new vibration to the world that seems to contain the seed of everything.
Voguing, drag, clubbing, and the politics of communities making different performances of gender and sexuality visible.
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
A fully transcribed, described, and open-captioned film screening that’s nothing short of their actual open heart.
A cast of pioneering and provocative spirits who exist outside the mainstream, between borders and definitions; a series of events that each explore different aspects of music that doesn’t quite fit any given category. INSTAL 08 included the Self-Cancellation project.
I wanna be with you everywhere is an everywhere gathering envisioned for and by disability communities and anyone who wants to get with us. IWBWYE returns to Performance Space and any space on June 21 for an outdoor pop-up and hybridized event.
Los Glissandinos work with clarinet and sine tones beating and thrumming in your middle ear, all beautifully paced and serene, but with just enough steely menace broiling under the surface to keep you on edge.
