This trans-exclusive workshop, co-facilitated by River McAskill, River Molloy and Zinzi Buchanan, offers body-focused exercises and creative practices for a trans-exclusive space, situated within the present local and global climate. We will bring an array of offerings related to the question: how can we take care of ourselves and one another, when we can’t trust state systems to take care of us? Come as you are and bring anything that adds to your comfort.
Complexly interacting colossal drones by the creator of some of the most legendary yet least heard music of the 70’s.

This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
