A public gathering that brings together local artists, musicians, activists, and community organisers.

In this interactive workshop, Dean Spade, author of Mutual Aid, will share key principles, explore common challenges in mutual aid work, and offer tools for working through them.
An extravagant debauch of plush toys and ritual. Palestine performed a version of Strumming Music, a trance inducing investigation into overtone systems achievable on a Bosendorfer Imperial Piano.

Robin Hayward – exploring the micro-sounds of a tuba, filling slowly with sand.
Sarah Washington uses electronics and wind-up radios, running out of charge to repsond to the festivals’ Self Cancellation provocation.
Post consideration and post rationalisation… How do we think about experimental music and film after the performance?
