Offering 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.

Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
