Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
The first of two workshops that highlight correspondence as a way of working. Somewhere between song, speech, and logistical arrangement, these workshops invite participants to consider care as infrastructure.
