With Taku we’ll carry out some simple proposals for doing almost nothing, for re-thinking sound with whatever comes to hand.
What would a world and an ethics look like free from the destructive consequences of the Western mind?
Introducing and setting intentions for a crip grief transformation and witness altar. A place to sit and breathe, remember our dead, wash our hands and leave offerings to and for loved ones we’ve lost – and for ourselves.

If life is assaulted by power, where do we find spaces for living? A conversation with Peter Pál Pelbart.
