“Established in 2012 by theatre writers, media artists and computer programmers, Tough Guy Mountain creates spectacles about the differences and similarities between art and business. They create interactive live shows modelled off of forms present in the business world, but demonstrating possible applications in the art world. Celebrating both worlds and using an appropriate amount of critique and satire is the foundation of Tough Guy Mountain’s shows.”

Hopepunk – Alexandra Rowland

“Hopepunk says that genuinely and sincerely caring about something, anything, requires bravery and strength. Hopepunk isn’t ever about submission or acceptance: It’s about standing up and fighting for what you believe in. It’s about standing up for other people. It’s about DEMANDING a better, kinder world, and truly believing that we can get there if we care about each other as hard as we possibly can, with every drop of power in our little hearts.”

Everything’s about politics – being called a fag in the street, trying to get a job that you hate, worrying about how to pay the rent and wether you’ll be granted immigration status. All the stuff that can really fuck up your day and is part of a much bigger picture of intimidation and control.

M Train, Patti Smith

M Train, Patti Smith

P 87

Fred finally achieved his pilot’s license but couldn’t afford to fly a plane. I wrote incessantly but published nothing. Through it all we held fast to the concept of the clock with no hands. Tasks were completed, sump pumps manned, sandbags piled, shirts ironed, hems stitched, and yet we reserved the right to ignore the hands that kept on turning. Looking back long after his death, our way of living seems a miracle, one that could only be achieved by the silent synchronization of the jewels and gears of a common mind.
