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.
A loud, buzzing stew of electrical light as noise and convulsive electric guitar squall.
A performance for dry ice and four specially constructed steel tables, each one heated by a single candle until searingly hot.
I wanna be with you everywhere was a gathering of, by, and for disabled artists and writers and anyone who wanted to get with us for a series of crip meet-ups, performances, readings and other social spaces of surplus, abundance and joy.
A dance party love letter to our community, expressing the joy of relation in the abstract and through actual physical proximity.
