This paper documents and discusses the creation of a performance (dance and song) by 12 sanitation workers in Nepal working with artists Alice Fox (UK) and Ashmina Ranjit (Nepal). This creative work was one element within an international, interdisciplinary research programme that explored shit flow, wastewater and marginality in five rapidly developing off-grid towns. Performed at the Lumbini Peace Park as part of the 2022 Women of the World Festival, an important objective of the work was raising awareness of issues affecting sanitation workers, who are among the most precarious workers in the world. Using photos and artist commentary, 'we' (geographers and artists) show how the performance (un)seen (un)clean opened a creative space through which to engage and circulate the lived experiences of workers.

However, case reports of NMDA receptor antibody encephalitis occurring in the context of infection with I Haemophilus influenzae i , human herpesvirus 6, mumps virus, I Enterovirus i , I Mycoplasma pneumoniae i and Japanese encephalitis virus have been reported [[3]], but the most robust association is with herpes simplex encephalitis, which one study found to be followed within a year by NMDA receptor antibody encephalitis in 18% of individuals [[5]]. The other potential effect is that the restrictions instituted by many countries could have suppressed the circulation of other infectious agents that may trigger NMDA receptor antibody encephalitis. Dear Sirs, I N i -methyl d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antibody encephalitis, since its description in 2007, has emerged as one of the most common causes of encephalitis among young people in the developed world [[1]]. Most importantly, there are limitations in this study's face validity in that it measured antibody results rather than actual diagnoses of NMDA receptor antibody encephalitis.
