Please donate your heartbeat for the poor the rebellious, the diseased, dissenters, and the mentally ill of Canveys mass grave. 10 years ago disarticulated remains were moved from London's Bedlam Burial Ground to a site adjacent to Willow Cemetery, Canvey Island. The project will take place on the 28th and 29th 11:00 till 17:00 June, during Estuary 2025 all invited.
Demonstrate unity to those who came before, the dead who anticipated our arrival. Lets not forget that Civilization walks hand in hand with its barbarous brother. The brushwork of the old master painting conceals the violence of slavery, transportation and enclosure; the palette that draws a victorious man's beauty emerges driping with suffering. Progress, is technological, upward, endless. But what we want is food, shelter, and to do as we please. What we need is to break ordinary time—to rupture this story of victory, to invoke the dormant sunshine in a memories forgotten.
