What would a world and an ethics look like free from the destructive consequences of the Western mind?
A performance by Storyboard P – one of the greatest Afrofuturist dancers on the planet.
(Cyber)feminist, non-essentialist transgender and queer daily radio shows using the formula of morning radio as an arch way of thinking about the scripted behaviour and controlled empathy of systematic care.

With Taku we’ll carry out some simple proposals for doing almost nothing, for re-thinking sound with whatever comes to hand.
