Four Endings to Begin
Various Artists
7pm to 7.45pm
Talk
Tramway 1
Access: Live Captioning
Tickets: Wednesday Evening Pass

Beginning from the end: four perspectives from people involved in anti-capitalist and anti-racist struggles in Glasgow, considering how ideas of ‘ending’ have shaped their political thinking and praxis. When do we need to let certain campaigns or strategies end, and how do we do this in ways that let new ones emerge? How are ‘means’ and ‘ends’ demarcated in revolutionary movements today, and what are the limits of such a binary? Can we start from an end? 

For Ever Gaza
Ayreen Anastas and Rene Gabri

Tickets: Wednesday Evening Pass

Ayreen and Rene make some of the most philosophically rich, politically rigorous, experimentally generous live film-performance around. 

A few bodies enter a room with the collective equipment for making a film. Some other bodies enter a hall to view it. It is the opening night of a series of encounters which may resemble a collective journey, even a seance, attempting to conjure and animate senses, images, sounds, utterances, gestures, thoughts, feelings of, from, with worlds which have and will survive the death of the monolith world of colonial, racial, patriarchal, capitalist modernity. The film to be screened has not yet been seen by its makers nor those who have invited it. It will be seen for the first time on the occasion of its making, as an unfolding, unworking of a form and its dis/contents.

Full schedule, programme notes and access details for all Episode events is available on the Arika website.
