Three short performances involving social exchange (jumpers, hats, glasses…) and singing (ballads)
Trans-temporal drag, sexuality and the re-staging of illegible moments in history.
A panel exploring the radical potential of technologies through fugitivity and opacity: their ability to obscure, to make it impossible for us to be known, to render us untraceable by every arm of the state even under the all-consuming spectre of surveillance capital.
Summer Solstice hang out IRL and URL on 21 June
UNINSTAL was a set of events at Tramway that tested out radical ideas with leading local and international artists. A collection of events (performances, films, installations, walks and talks) about sound and listening.
A solo improvisation using just the situation of the concert: a space, a PA, Mattin’s own thoughts, you, the audience.

Moor Mother is a musician, Philadelphian housing activist and black quantum futurist.
Real-time video feedback loops submerged in laminal sheets of sound soaked in gauzy timbral detail and multi-valenced, buzzing overtones.
