What does it mean to resist seeking assimilation or inclusion within, or let our demands be co-opted by the very systems we seek to dismantle?
Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
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.
The weeks previous TLRS daily radio shows, after-hours conversations, radio booths and special guests reassembled as a live electroacoustic performance.
Performances at St Giles in the Fields, London by Jandek, Rhodri Davies & Angharad Davies, Rauhan Orkesteri.
A beautifully crisp, slowly evolving duo for cello and projected images. Abstract but still figurative; change only noticeable after the fact.

Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
Transfeminist, communist, revolutionary poetry that refuses to flinch. Nat Raha presents new work in the nine.
A fully transcribed, described, and open-captioned film screening that’s nothing short of their actual open heart.
A discussion about what is at stake in the performance of realness and the practice of passing, and how they are both acts of survival and resistance.
