Is there a link between how we’re divided into populations that can be caged and exiled by the prison-industrial complex, and the ways people’s bodies are violently categorised and segregated by race, class, gender or ability?
Episode 8 celebrates all the unruly ways we refuse to be defined by such violence, escape attempts to constrain us, tear down the walls of normative culture and build joy in flight.
Three days of performances, discussions, screenings, workshop and a club with gender non-conforming rebels, students of blackness, lawyers, archivists, anarca-feminist street artists and witches, party hosts, filmmakers, prison abolitionists, poets, DJ’s, ex-prisoners and multi-media artists including:
Joshua Allen | boychild | Kai Lumumba Barrow | English Collective of Prostitutes | Elysia Crampton | Glasgow Open Dance School | Che Gossett | Reina Gossett | Juliana Huxtable | CeCe McDonald | Miss Major | Mujeres Creando | Sondra Perry | Scot-Pep | Dean Spade | Eric A Stanley | Umbrella Lane | We Will Rise
“Like the host of any good party, Arika is a host to people, to concepts and ideas, to daily struggles and joys.”
Park McArthur, Artist at Episode 7

Friday 21
Is there a link between how we’re divided by the prison-industrial complex into populations that can be caged and exiled, and the ways people’s bodies are violently categorised and segregated by race, class, gender or ability? What does it mean, in the face of such violence, to celebrate all the unruly ways we refuse to be defined by it? Can we escape its attempts to constrain us, tearing down the walls of normative culture and building joy in flight?

About the event
The #BlackExcellenceTour is a collaborative social justice project that uses art, activism and awareness to combat the systemic oppression facing young, trans, queer & gender nonconforming people of colour. As a form of Ratchet Intellectualism, CeCe and Joshua will tease out the nuanced realities of living at the intersections of marginal identities, engaging the audience in a dialogue of personal anecdotes and musings on contemporary politics.
