This experimental video is part of SUBMERGED, a multimedia installation exhibited at The Front gallery. 

Through movement choreography, the story offers a glimpse into the future, when humans are so far gone in their destruction of the Earth that the water spirits have no choice but to intervene. Sea levels have risen so high that it only takes a few big tsunamis for them to reclaim the Earth. Not many survive but there are some beings who do: among them is a group of Black, gender expansive people who are naturally equipped to adapt their bodies to their needs.

The show as a whole meditates on the questions: What can we learn from our ancestors who sought freedom in the depths of the Atlantic? What nourishment can be found in the fluidity of the ocean? Can we find new ways to breathe?
