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.
Is it possible to dance our way out of the hardened stances and identity prisons we are locked in?

Performances at Anthology Film Archives by by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Alan Licht & Jandek.
Rhodri Davies plays two deconstructed harps. Lee Patterson examines the sonic properties of burning nuts.
Guitar and voice. Keening, droning and mourning. Be ready to release and bring your dis-ease.
