Za Mwezi
16 min | 16mm Black & White Film (hand processed under full moon) / Installation 
a ritual in
the hypnosis of orbit
a celestial limerence,
the gravity of desire
that pushes and pulls the waters of the heart
fluidities of love and limerence and light
affecting the ways we live, we act
the suns projection of light upon the moon
a mirror to our own fantasies of completion, a shadow side never visible -
only tangible upon contact


DarkerThe clandestine creep of surveillance technologies cloaks and haunts a cell of Black insurgent hackers and their allies as they launch plans for radical new realities. With the mission in motion, contradictions in solidarity burst open amongst their crew as Los Angeles ruptures into massive protests. Their aim is a literal and liberatory vision of abolition - can they come together and evade capture long enough to see their mission through the night?
