A Festival supporting the struggle for Sex Workers’ Rights: share knowledge, discuss, dance and strategise!
A beautifully crisp, slowly evolving duo for cello and projected images. Abstract but still figurative; change only noticeable after the fact.

Three different performances variously featuring: Fritz Welch, loud drums, guitar, local collaborators, paper, memories, Roland Barthes, string quartets
CCI Sound system: a performance in which new material will be mixed and phased between two huge PA’s, one a precise Meyer system, the other a huge wall of Marshall amps
Vanessa Place talks at The Friday Event series at the Glasgow School of Art about her practice as a writer.
