Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an old underground reservoir in Fife.
Rhodri Davies plays two deconstructed harps. Lee Patterson examines the sonic properties of burning nuts.
There are core ways in which our listening to the radio differs from other kinds of listening. What happens when we pay attention to how we pay attention?

In Our Hands is a ten week programme of workshops facilitated by Lisa Fannen, Omikemi and Clay. The sessions explore radical approaches to health and collective care in the context of movement for liberation and social justice.
