A performed filmic conversation on queer and black world making.
A life force of ecstatic clarity capable of loquacious bursts of affirmation.

How do people living with disability see themselves in today’s sexualised culture? How do we imagine our crip sexual selves despite society wanting to reduce us to non-erotic bodies?
