A bit of news! After a bit of demand we've decided to do some one-off events that'll take place outside Counterflows Festival in April.
The 1st of these welcomes 2 legends we love: Beijing's Yan Jun and Glasgow's Sue Tompkins on the 4th of March at Listen Gallery.

Counterflows 2025: The Report - The Skinny
Counterflows returns to Glasgow, and remains one of the finest festivals the UK has to offer.
"It's a festival that understands that the self-seriousness and solemnity that so often fill the world are irrelevant – it’s the giddy opportunity of the unknown that defines it..."

Another belter @counterflows.bsky.social, fave moments were screw-facing at The Handover, a man in a cardigan shrieking John fuckin Wall, Ash Reid’s lament for the taste of British Apples, Yan Jun’s duets with baby / hoverfly / chiff-chaff and Amina Claudine Myers blowing the cobwebs off that organ

A huge thank you to Creative Scotland for their continued support. Most of all though thank you to the artists, audiences and people we've worked with over the last 13 years. It's been quite a journey and we wouldn't be here without you 💖
