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.

Voguing, drag, clubbing, and the politics of communities making different performances of gender and sexuality visible.
