Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
In rethinking the body, the law, the state, gender, race, violence, care and empathy, how we might give humanness a different future?
The role of feelings in public life, (political) depression and creative survival.
Performances at Anthology Film Archives by by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Alan Licht & Jandek.
A rare live performance which, although not a full installation, made use of the unique acoustic and spatial properties of the Arches to rattle the audience and help it locate its third ear.
Los Glissandinos work with clarinet and sine tones beating and thrumming in your middle ear, all beautifully paced and serene, but with just enough steely menace broiling under the surface to keep you on edge.
A fully transcribed, described, and open-captioned film screening that’s nothing short of their actual open heart.
Complex ways of understanding our complex times. Maths & Poetics. Gesture & Physics. Collectivist Struggle & Desire. 5 days of performances, discussions, screenings and study sessions.
(Cyber)feminist, non-essentialist transgender and queer daily radio shows using the formula of morning radio as an arch way of thinking about the scripted behaviour and controlled empathy of systematic care.
An extravagant debauch of huge pianos, plush toys, cognac and ritual.
Over 3 days Episode 8 celebrates all the unruly ways we escape attempts to constrain us, tear down the walls of normative culture and build joy in flight.
The first of two workshops that highlight correspondence as a way of working. Somewhere between song, speech, and logistical arrangement, these workshops invite participants to consider care as infrastructure.
