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.

Artist Derek Lodge running a specially designed social space, somewhere for conversation, story-telling and interaction.
