Haunted by the archive of the New Cross Fire, Jay Bernard presents a film and poetry reading that undertakes a queer exploration of black British history, reconstructed from archives and apparent debris.

A dance party love letter to our community, expressing the joy of relation in the abstract and through actual physical proximity.
