An LSD trip gone right via dense explorations of post-Fahey steel and low level drone.
Performances at Anthology Film Archives by by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Alan Licht & Jandek.
Live in person at Performance Space New York and live-streamed everywhere! Watching Storyboard P dance feels like glimpsing into another world.
An open conversation hosted by Saidiya Hartman and Fred Moten around ‘fugitivity’ and ‘waywardness’ and what it means to be in flight, excessive or ungovernable.
