A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.
I wanna be with you everywhere was a gathering of, by, and for disabled artists and writers and anyone who wanted to get with us for a series of crip meet-ups, performances, readings and other social spaces of surplus, abundance and joy.
What would a world and an ethics look like free from the destructive consequences of the Western mind?
Like walking through the abstracted amalgamation of 30 or so storms, trays of water shaken by thunder, light bouncing off pools.
Jandek’s second ever live performance, and the first to be advertised in advance.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in a large multi chambered industrial ice house.

Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Sunday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
Beat poet Ira Cohen’s now infamous and wildly psychedelic film odyssey feeds one’s own seeing apparatus through beautifully warped and distorting mylar mirrors, resulting in a film dense and rich with visual arcana and poetry.
A movement-based workshop on Krump and the politics of how we teach, learn and listen with our bodies. Move with us!
Location: Around and about the old public library in Easterhouse; disinvested in and left to rot by the council but which was shamelessly, hastily and superficially cleaned by them in expectation of our event.
