After the artist's own gaybashing in the Bay Area, they went on to research reported instances of hate violence targeting LGBTQIA2s+ individuals in the archives of 16 local newspapers. Allegra spins the newsprint detailing these hate crimes by hand into thread to weave a shroud marking specific sites of violence which are marked in the film. Woven into the docu-performance are first hand narratives of LGBTQIA2s+ people who have—like the artist—survived hate crimes but who's stories never made the news.
