Includes: street portraits of kids in 1930’s Dakota, a mysterious foggy pilgrimage, a swarm of time-lapsed consumers, a stereoscopic analysis of mill life, up close and personal in a Lighting Bolt mosh pit.
Simon Morris is joined by Nick Thurston as they attempt to read aloud whilst peddling on exercise bikes.
Solo performance by Diamanda Galás one of the great artists of the last forty years. Hers is an emotional expressionism of demonic shrieks, operatic falsettos, glottal clicks and diabolical growls.
TEST is a collective creative improvising quartet based out of the NYC Underground (figuratively and literally). Their street-hardened, spatial Jazz is riotous and intense: is also makes us think about collective organization, and different ideas of responsibility and liberty.
A simple hands on workshop with micro-radio theorist and pioneer Kogawa.
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
An event exploring anarchic and communal situations of musical creation with MV, EE and The Cherry Blossoms.
A dialogical meeting of Baraka’s radical poetry and Grimes’ free jazz syncopation.
In Our Hands is a nine week programme of workshops exploring radical approaches to health and collective care in the movement for liberation and social justice.
How can we imagine bodies not as an end in themselves, but as a medium through which we can become one another’s means?
An LSD trip gone right via dense explorations of post-Fahey steel and low level drone.
Bruno’s liberated improvisational approach stretches beyond the lyrical, tough as nails rhythmic bursts and expressive, swinging attack of his drumming.
