No Transmo, no party.
Haleh Fotowat is an Iranian-Canadian neuroscientist and artist based in Boston. Through scientific research at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University and abstract painting in her studio, she explores self-organisation and emergence in living systems. Her paintings embrace improvisation, movement, and expressive colour to explore how complex forms emerge through interaction and change.
The show is about emerging forms, in living or non-living matter. Flow, movement, decisions to change course, and the structures that emerge. Paintings fill the main floor, while the basement turns to living forms with projections and sound from her scientific work.
This performance is for anyone who is curious to hear new music, see new paintings, and even for those who aren’t, but may find themselves nearby anyhow. Those with a taste for improvised music especially welcome.
This events features workshops, talks, and visual art in the form of a huge timeline of legislation around sex work and the legislation’s effects.
Hosted by Scotland for Decrim – a grassroots campaign fighting for the full decriminalisation of sex work in Scotland. They’re a welcoming group, whose members are both people with lived experience of sex work and allies.
Hard Labour is a spark flying from the past into the future – from the fire of the long history of sex worker resistance, to the flame of current struggles to the warmth of future dreams.
Hard Labour is collective action, a labour of love, a invitation to make art.
Supported by Creative Scotland and the Paul Hamlyn Foundation.
This series is open to QTBIPOC+ organisers, artists, and anyone involved in collective life who wishes to explore the emotional and relational dimensions of community. A willingness to listen, contribute and learn alongside others is necessary. This is not a workshop in conflict mediation, nor is it a space that promises answers or resolution.
Facilitated by Kai Khidir Hassan, a visual artist, arts worker, and community organiser based in Glasgow. Their work is rooted in the belief that care is neither soft nor uncomplicated, but is a rigourous ongoing practice of staying and being with one another.
Session 1 (17th Aug): Soft Introductions
Session 2 (24th Aug): Small Matter, Big Matter
Session 3 (7th September): Dreaming Contributions
*Please only sign up if you can make all three workshops.
This two-hour session of yoga, reiki, and somatic work is led by Asphodèle (Stereo’s grind provisions001 headliner). Asphodèle is a multi-disciplinary DJ, artist, producer, reiki healer, yoga teacher, and pole dance instructor based in Los Angeles whose sets are rooted in African and electronic club sounds and alchemy.
The session is open to everyone regardless of experience. However, recognising the barriers that people from marginalised communities face accessing wellbeing services the organisers encourage people from queer, trans, femme, and BIPOC communities to come to the workshop.
Exhale will also explore the framing of racist incidents as ‘hate crime’ and find ways to keep each other safe instead of deferring to the authorities (using an ‘abolitionist’ approach).
This workshop is open to anyone looking for support and safety advice following the rise in recent attacks on marginalised communities. It is a space for people aged over 16 years old, who identify as both LGBT+/Queer and as Black or a Person of Colour.
The first half of the workshop includes a presentation, discussion, and the introduction of learning tools, which in the second part will be put into practice.
The workshop will last 3 hours, including a break, and are delivered by two QTIPOC+ facilitators.
This workshop emerged from work with Remember & Resist, a project by Daikon Zine to expand abolitionist thinking and practice within East and Southeast Asian diaspora organising in the UK. Bystander Intervention Scotland grew out of Glasgow Prisoner Solidarity.

The session brings together music from that time, a short live audio essay and informal conversation. The event looks at the many voices that shaped the sound, and the coded forms of resistance carried through music under political pressure.
Rather than treating popular music from that period as hedonistic or disposable, Bubblegum Resistance considers how sound can hold collective history, intergenerational memory, joy, and trauma in ways that continue to echo present time.
