In this episode, at a moment in which it is difficult to think beyond the present, we consider queer notions of time, the future, and apocalypse, by speaking with Jack Halberstam, a queer theorist and Professor of Gender Studies and English at Columbia University. 

Jared talks with Jack on queer notions of forgetting, futurity, and the figure of the zombie in today’s popular imagination, as explored in his books such as 2011’s ‘The Queer Art of Failure’, and most recently ‘Wild Things: The Disorder of Desire’, published last year by Duke University Press.

In this episode, we respond to the topic of illness, considering the structural conditions affecting health and the nature of life, by inviting artist, writer LTTR journal and collective co-founder Every Ocean Hughes for a discussion, as well as an audio work by interdisciplinary artist and writer Clay AD.

Steph speaks with Every about her work around notions of queer death and illness, as well as her place in a rich lineage of queer art that crosses her early days in the 2000s New York city punk scene, and more recent working relationships with the likes Geo Wyeth and Colin Self. 

This is followed with a reading by Clay AD—a Glasgow-based artist working across writing, sound, video and movement—from their novel Metabolize, If Able. We first spoke with Clay last year, for an interview on AQNB, and have been drawn to their use of sci-fi and speculative fiction to explore themes of illness, ecology and biopolitics today.

In this episode we explore contemporary challenges to rationalism in an age of data, asking what the unique effects of technological mediation are on the culture of spirituality, by inviting artist and founding member of Black Obsidian Sound System Evan Ifekoya for a discussion, along with a mix from multifaceted art platform Most Dismal Swamp.

Jared talks with Evan on topics spanning astrology and digital mediation, ritual practices, and music’s relation to mysticism, as explored in exhibitions such 'Ritual without Belief' at London’s Gasworks, and their work for the major group show 'Transformer: a Rebirth of Wonder' exhibition at London’s 180 The Strand in 2019.

This is followed by 'Night Science (Deep Tissue mix)' by Most Dismal Swamp, a London based interdisciplinary art project and curatorial platform producing exhibitions, online events and music releases. We invited Most Dismal Swamp to contribute a mix on the theme of mysticism and technology, being interested in the way the platform speculates on weirding and reality in our online age.
