How do we sense entanglement? Can the knotting of ropes according to a poem’s rhythm make the social pulse of language matter?
‘Ten Pieces in the Form of Painful Variations’ for piano, an impossible score that looks like a grapeshot musical stave, a text of barbed loathing and doubt – an anti-composition.
How black radical practices of abolition imagine a way out of the caging and mass killing of life.
A performed installation by one of Germany’s most interesting visual artists, based on edited transcripts of the 1961 trial of Adolf Eichmann in Jerusalem and the writings of Hannah Arendt

Seven women recite monologues composed from texts from the vibrant years of the Weimar Republic. A kind of cultural echo: an experience of histories brought to the present.
Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.
Can a musician create a sonic photograph; something with a depth of field, where you can hear sounds and their interconnections, much as you see objects and their relationships in a photo? Could a filmmaker use musical concepts to represent landscape?
A workshop for educators, activists and young people to think about radical, anti-imperialist pedagogy, and what fighting for the Palestinian cause looks like for young people in the imperial core. PDF of the resource available soon.
An audio and video investigation of gender cults, Catholicism, hauntings and nuns’ use of audio devices…
Wave Formations is a 5 screen work in which each screen runs through a series of fades and then stroboscopic flashes of colour, to create a series of visual harmonics.
