(Cyber)feminist, non-essentialist transgender and queer daily radio shows using the formula of morning radio as an arch way of thinking about the scripted behaviour and controlled empathy of systematic care.

An audio/ video, lecture/ performance exploring the queer and companionly inter-activity of human-animal relations.
