Brain still whirring from the penetrative events I attended today re ‘ending the world as we know it’ - or creating art to subvert the status - or decolonising our base assumptions… There’s more tomorrow- if in Glasgow get yourself to The Tramway, otherwise livestream via @00arika00.bsky.social
On Friday I will be spending the day at the Glasgow Tramway at Episode 11: To End The World As We Know It produced by the amazing folx at Arika. Tickets are free to day time events, Pay What You Can to the evenings. It starts tomorrow & runs till Saturday. Come along! www.tramway.org/eventf6732ea...
