A kind of an informal overview of INSTAL.
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.

Rhodri Davies plays two deconstructed harps. Lee Patterson examines the sonic properties of burning nuts.
Bleu Shut reveals, and allows us to enjoy, our gullibility within the pervasive absurdity of modern life.
