A public walk from George Square to the Barras market bringing contributions from researchers, activists and artists in a form of live critical praxis
In a moment of social exhaustion, we want to ask how we might care for each other differently. We Can’t Live Without Our Lives is a 5-day exploration of care as a form of struggle and resistance, with communities who embody it.
A performance of Ueinzz’s new play. Each Ueinzz performance is a process of reinvention, between exhaustion and a fleeting vision: singular, collective, anonymous, plural, suspensive, intensive, unworking life.
Performance of a Sudoko based graphic score giving rise to a process of self cancellation.
Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
A silent collage of found film footage partially layered with computer graphics to provide a framework in which live music can develop.
A preposterously heavy, eye of the storm musical tug of war, in which two drummers, electronics and electric guitar fall over each other in a droning crush.
Now a two day festival, INSTAL 04 was borne of a desire to open eyes, challenge audiences and expand musical horizons. This was also the year in which a certain representative from Corwood Industries made his first ever live appearance.
A dense, hard, immersive, chaotic spatial performance in sound: a momentary gap in consciousness, free of order or decision.
Three documentary films exploring diverse realities of sex workers around the world followed by a closing ceremony of the festival.
