A Festival supporting the struggle for Sex Workers’ Rights: share knowledge, discuss, dance and strategise!
A solo improvisation using just the situation of the concert: a space, a PA, Mattin’s own thoughts, you, the audience.
Imagery, drawn from what seems like hundreds of different films is overlaid and combined in a promissory rainbow of new meanings and impossible scenarios, with the unsettling feel of daylight shadows.
Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
A parody of a (Manhattan) road movie and meditation on bifurcation, in paths traveled between the seen and the heard; a road trip played over and over from different perspectives.
A multi-media harp and spoken word tribute to the incalculable, the in-deducible, the suspicious static noise that accompanies the voice of truth, and the attempted aberrations in the domain of emergence.
Imagine entering a library where readers can borrow human beings serving as open books. Then select a book stack that specialises in sex work.
Juliana’s performances chart the dissonant space and discrepancy between the presumed fixed norms of social life and the fluid lived experience those norms don’t allow for.
Amid the blur of erotics, the jangle of poetics, and the fetishizing of sickness and disability, the heat of Panteha’s performance and sculpture freezes all.
Can our favourite Vegas-born poet of prophetic blackness and a South Central transmuter of social rage into beauty feel through each other?
One of the most influential groups in improvised music, with the collective understanding that comes from listening keenly to each other for decades
Performances at Anthology Film Archives by by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Alan Licht & Jandek.
