Talk charting the radical history of experimental music in Japan + the lowdown into the careers of many of the artists appearing at MLFC.
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
A socio-poetic reading on wayward communities – The wayward create upheavals, incite tumult. They come and go as they please; they are fugitive; they are in open rebellion against society.
A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.

Transfeminist, communist, revolutionary poetry that refuses to flinch. Nat Raha presents new work in the nine.
Originally billed as a duo of Ingar Zach and Derek Bailey, John Butcher stood in for Bailey at the last minute.

Three workshops lead up to an open invitation to improvise with the festival as concert.

From there anything could happen.
UNINSTAL was a set of events at Tramway that tested out radical ideas with leading local and international artists. A collection of events (performances, films, installations, walks and talks) about sound and listening.

On the birthday of Marsha P. Johnson, this event brings together several elements that celebrate the radical care and kinship characteristic of the Trans revolutionary.
