How do grassroots feminist organisations strategise relationships between mothers, parents, carers and their children based on respect and empowerment, in resistance to the practice of putting children in often the most uncaring of places – care.
Dundee. Progressive rhythmical guitar squall vs. post-highland discorporate dusk-jockey.

Vanessa Place talks at The Friday Event series at the Glasgow School of Art about her practice as a writer.

Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
A chorister attempting to sing Vivaldi, with live accompaniment, while trampolining for 20 minutes.
A performed self-cancelling discussion, with artists from the festival, invited speakers and local artists talking at once, over each other, or straining to be heard over the din.
