PTZ Edition 2 Launch: CRUSH
with artist Maite de Orbe

We are delighted to present the launch of Present Tense Zine (PTZ) Edition 2, an audio and print publication responding to Crush, Maite de Orbe’s ongoing exploration of collision, impact, surrender, and suspended violence.

Join us to celebrate the release of the issue with an evening of live readings and performances by the contributing poets and sound-makers, alongside a short film by Maite de Orbe. The night brings voice, body, and image into dialogue, tracing the charged space between desire and force, intimacy and rupture.

With words and performances from:
Maite de Orbe
Alina Maldonado x Tallulah Haddon
Rushika Wick
Flo Ray
Billy Klotsa
Henry St Leger
Marianne Habeshaw
Scarlett Woolfe
Harper Walton
Ned Prizeman
Rose McCrum
Juliette Larthe
Suleqa Mohamud
Clara-Læïla Laudette
