Grief Karaoke is part of Grief must be Love with Nowhere to Go, a project by Chris Alton & Emily Simpson.
Emily Simpson is an artist, curator and workshop facilitator. Their work looks at love, lols and loss; explored through textiles, writing, zines, events, print-making and curation amongst other things. The work often questions how experiences (of loss, life, language) are shaped by the non-binary perspective and the political implications of this. Emily founded oh kay gall, an artist-led gallery which ran from 2018-2019 in York. Emily lives in Manchester and has a cat named Tofu.
Chris Alton is an artist, based in Manchester. His practice spans a range of media and approaches, including; socially engaged projects, video essays, textile banners, and publications. Each of his projects addresses an array of interconnected social, political, economic and environmental concerns.
