Listening to people listening to their own homes. Musicians and actors will listen back to recordings made in local peoples homes on headphones, and interpret/ translate what they are hearing.
Rather than asking the state for services, what kinds of change are made possible when we prioritise people supporting each other?
Sean and Taku share an interest in structure, space and time. A spartan, abstract, considered and surprisingly musical set.

In this workshop we will imagine ourselves as time travellers from a glorious and chaotic neurodivergent-led future.
TEST is a collective creative improvising quartet based out of the NYC Underground (figuratively and literally). Their street-hardened, spatial Jazz is riotous and intense: is also makes us think about collective organization, and different ideas of responsibility and liberty.
Journalist and underground music champion Alan Cummings talks to Keiji Haino about his career and his performance the previous evening.

Tiny fragments of sound recombined and woven into spare and precise, violent yet beautiful pieces
An invitation into languages field of touch; to speak in feeling together.
