How do communities practice being one another’s means, addressing their material problems facing them replicating the state’s violent logic of who is disposable.
Copying without Copying is 3 evenings of events that are about what happens when we speak, or when we hear someone speak on our behalf, when we share a collective moment of hearing and maybe understanding.
A preposterously heavy, eye of the storm musical tug of war, in which two drummers, electronics and electric guitar fall over each other in a droning crush.

Beatriz will explore her thinking, on film as translation, plural subjectivity or land-based militancy. Discussion will centre around her work Oriana and its companion piece Oenanthe, which will be screened in full.

A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
