A filmic constellation exploring Felix Guattari’s anti-patriarchal, anti-colonialist, anti-psychiatric, animist ideas of care and the self. And an Introduction to the Episode.
A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.
All welcome to a weekend of sex worker resistance and joy! Workshops, talks and visual art, hosted by Scotland for Decrim.
An open-ended moment in an ongoing series of films, notes, performances, diagrams and drawings which trace the questions they share. A “porous space between cinema time-space and lived time-space.”
Summing up of the investigations with a reflection on what has been done that week and what could be done the next.
A performance bearing witness to a struggle built upon patience and collective action from the great multi-instrumentalist and member of the AACM.

A prison abolitionist punk video-poetry-music mash up about our fucked-up dystopian society, RoboCop, kids toys and criminality.
