An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
A simple hands on workshop with micro-radio theorist and pioneer Kogawa.

Thinking against the monoculturalism of Western thought—of faith, affection, sexuality and gender—which completely lacks any utility to, or descriptive value of Indigenous worldviews.
A performed filmic conversation on queer and black world making.
A meditation on how all of us perform — sometimes reinforcing, sometimes subverting — the shifting categories of gender, sexuality and race.
