An exploration of the feeling of grief and isolation after consuming supposedly progressive material. Who has the power to narrate and what narratives have inscribed themselves in history?
The short film is an attempt to recognise, name and de-name colonial gazes in the future. It is a response to everything that screams “together” but always remains with itself.
