Out holler/ howl of English pukenoise posterboys exploded by incessant insect chatter of Northern fug dweller.
Taku’s actions strip back musical performance to one of its original proposals: what is an action and how does it create a situation for spending time together, for paying attention?

A kind of an informal overview of INSTAL.
A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
Thought and action, writing and protesting. A chat with Nat Raha, KUCHENGA and Jackie Wang asking what can be learnt from writing across genres by agitators, activists and abolitionists?
How do we make the connections between the mutual aid practices of our daily lives and anti-capitalist efforts to dismantle wider systems of exploitation?
