Can we use sound, repetition and difference to personally and collectively engage with space, time and labour?
A loud, buzzing stew of electrical light as noise and convulsive electric guitar squall.
A poetic multi-screen performance about “the inadequacy of the arbitrary passing moment and the impossibility of permanence”. About time and change.
Watching films and chatting with Karrabing members about those films: as they attend to the memory and practice of the ancestral present and the ancestral catastrophe that Karrabing and their more-than-human world find themselves facing.
A film performance about Guy then, and Guy now, as a metaphor for the passing of time, which of course all film is inherently about.
Blissed-out sun-dappled drone ragas of the highest order, with a metal-tinged signature sound of plucked and bowed strings.
I wanna be with you everywhere was a gathering of, by, and for disabled artists and writers and anyone who wanted to get with us for a series of crip meet-ups, performances, readings and other social spaces of surplus, abundance and joy.

Sonic ‘observations’ of the world, through micro recordings on a tiny scale and transformed into something musically compelling.
The second in a series of workshops for workers and non-workers who care. What does the sharing of vulnerability entail? Can such a sharing inform progressive social relations?
A Festival supporting the struggle for Sex Workers’ Rights: share knowledge, discuss, dance and strategise!
A collaborative duo performance, Anoyonodekigoto sets up a sort of negotiation between a musician, a dancer, the audience and the space we’re all sharing.
