This gathering, convened by zack mennell (read QX feature) to mark the conclusion of their project (para)site, invites participants to explore strange archetypes and engage with unusual beings. It focuses on practices such as mumming, connecting these ancient folk customs with the contemporary post-industrial landscapes of London and Essex.
