Gathered here are a group of producers standing in worldwide solidarity, and through this compilation wish to express an intent – that of taking action through voicing and sharing, and that of challenging a silencing oppression and the oppression of silence, which in its pervasive presence has aided the coming to be of the current political status quo.

This compilation is a call-to-action, and an invitation to be aware of the organizations and communities which have been active in a struggle for equality and aid for years. You are invited to make a difference in your local community against all forms of discrimination and its backlashes.

“Co-Op” is given on a trust-basis, this is not a free compilation.

In exchange for a download, we encourage you to donate your time or money to a local social organization listed or of your choice on the frontlines of protecting marginalized groups worldwide.
There exists a possibility to impact and aid local change.

For The Haunted

What does the word 'human' mean to you?

For our studio's 'Oh to be Human' exhibition at Could Be Good gallery in Deptford, we recorded some conversations taking that question as our starting point. The voices you hear belong to six survivors of brain injury, all members of Headway East London: in order of appearance, they are Joe, Affiong, Jon, Marie-Claire, Lesley and Laura. Together we talked about love, freedom and connection; babies and aliens, God and the devil; brains, souls and birdsong.

You can find out more about the exhibition here: http://www.enclaveprojects.com/future-shows/enclave-5-could-be-good-oh-to-be-human/
