A Festival supporting the struggle for Sex Workers’ Rights: share knowledge, discuss, dance and strategise!
Glasgow. Low-end drone guitarage army in praise of the open chord.
(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.
Sax/Drums duo of raucous, pealing noise, and cries of beguiling lyricism, whispered sax phrases float in a timbral cloud of bowed metal and rumbling toms.
Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
Screening of films by Duvet Brothers, David Critchley, David Hall, John Latham, Judith Goddard, Mike Leggett, Tony Sinden
Transfeminist and revolutionary poetry, voice and timbral abstraction: a sounding and spatialising of reparative sonic and somatic practices that can speak back to violent histories of expropriation and ecocide.
One of the most influential groups in improvised music, with the collective understanding that comes from listening keenly to each other for decades
How do people both inside and outside of prison work together to dismantle the criminal justice system and build a society based on collective care?
A collaboration bringing together artists with a shared gravitational heft to their work; an intense and concentrated accumulation of detail and power.
A voice that can vault from an elegantly whispered insinuation to asphyxiated and murderous barks or squalls in a heartbeat.
