What would a world and an ethics look like free from the destructive consequences of the Western mind?
An audio and video investigation of gender cults, Catholicism, hauntings and nuns’ use of audio devices…
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.
A trance inducing, flickering investigation of structural and minimalist droning from one of the key thinkers in sound and image over the last 50 years

Vanessa Place talks at The Friday Event series at the Glasgow School of Art about her practice as a writer.
How black radical practices of abolition imagine a way out of the caging and mass killing of life.
Guitar and voice. Keening, droning and mourning. Be ready to release and bring your dis-ease.
A socio-poetic reading on wayward communities – The wayward create upheavals, incite tumult. They come and go as they please; they are fugitive; they are in open rebellion against society.
