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.

About the Episode
Is this world coming to an end?
Can we start to know and practice the world to come?
Episode 11 brings together five days of film, music, discussion and study to think through our collective incompleteness—arrayed against the ecological and social devastations of a capitalistic, colonial and imperialist worldview that has been obliterating other worlds for over 400 years— to practice how we might exist otherwise, right here and now.
This year’s programme will include contributions from: Ailton Krenak | Karrabing Film Collective | Elizabeth Povinelli | Leanne Betasamosake Simpson | Robyn Maynard | Denise Ferreira da Silva | Ayreen Anastas and Rene Gabri | Houria Bouteldja | Beatriz Santiago Muñoz | Emilia Beatriz | Geni Núñez | Mezna Qato and Sadia Shirazi | Hussein Mitha | Ligia Lewis | Amilcar Packer
Music programme in collaboration with Counterflows: Chuquimamani-Condori | Rashad Becker | Sunik Kim | Nat Raha and Ailie Ormston
Arika return to the Tramway after Episode 10: A Means Without End. Arika celebrate and support connections between art and social change by exploring artistic practice in relationship to critical thought and political organising through research, relationships and encounters. There are other ways to know and be in the world.
Books
Setting up a stall of books at the Episode will be Aye Aye Books.
