An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
The role of feelings in public life, (political) depression and creative survival.
Investigating the border between the audible and the visible means looking at the margins, the edges of creativity where artists test out new boundaries and define them anew.
A crash-course in pre-figurative, radical, queer, anti-racist, anti-police, anti-prison, anti-deportation abolitionist politics and trans-resistance.
Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Friday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
Live ISDN drone performance resonating between Dundee and an empty Montreal Grain Silo.
A performative survey of listening, as we managed to find it being used as a tool in different practices, disciplines and communities in North America (music, poetry, film, philosophy, activism…).
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
This session focuses in on the defiant mutual aid practices of early and DIY feminist movements in the UK, that attempted to shift and radicalise care and kinship away from the domain of the nuclear family.
Ecstatic, scalding and ludicrously heavy, nobody matches Incapacitants for live noise energy. One of the most exhilarating live acts in underground music.
Writing that shows us that, even in struggle, there is light to be let in.
