A loud, buzzing stew of electrical light as noise and convulsive electric guitar squall.
Exploring the interplay between punk sinewave aggression, high-speed video sequences and stroboscopic lighting

Elizabeth’s writing pulls apart toxic settler colonialism and the worldview used to justify it; working towards an alternative distribution of powers, so that ways of being otherwise can endure.
