Free jazz pianist John Blum with an everywhere-at-once presence in duo with Jackson Krall, incendiary free jazz drummer and sound sculptor
Christian Bök‘s work spans thrillingly conceptual poetry to body-shaking vocal performances.
Sadia Shirazi & Mezna Qato will discuss a series of scores that explore the texture and landscape of exile, resistance, and Muslim sociality. These instructional scores trouble the idea that art and activism are untouched by faith and faith is untouched by art and activism.
Rare UK performance by legendary Japanese post punk group during their 4 drummers + synth / vocals phase.
An open-ended moment in an ongoing series of films, notes, performances, diagrams and drawings which trace the questions they share. A “porous space between cinema time-space and lived time-space.”
Goodwin’s writing emanates from the social life of poetry, from a condition of entanglement before historically racially-specific forms of representation. Another word for this emanation is breath.
A performed self-cancelling discussion, with artists from the festival, invited speakers and local artists talking at once, over each other, or straining to be heard over the din.
Ray and Thomas talking about how cognitive neuroscience is unlocking the physical basis of personal experience.
The club as a community and a site for performed politics: deep/ queer house, vogue femme, lipsync and ballroom.
Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
