I wanna be with you everywhere was a gathering of, by, and for disabled artists and writers and anyone who wanted to get with us for a series of crip meet-ups, performances, readings and other social spaces of surplus, abundance and joy.
A dance party love letter to our community, expressing the joy of relation in the abstract and through actual physical proximity.
