Noise music for the eyes: projectors turned into instruments, B&W film loops into a thrumming riot of colour, motion and sound.

Haunted by the archive of the New Cross Fire, Jay Bernard presents a film and poetry reading that undertakes a queer exploration of black British history, reconstructed from archives and apparent debris.
