de la boue et des racines
is a mess/mass involving non-diegetic prayers/hopes/incantations in which less-than human beings, more than human, and human bodies are activators of portals. A critic and re-enactment of healing mechanisms that hid in embodied memories. Pulsing, grieving, tending to small gestures as wor(l)ding. investigating settler and racial capitalism, spiritual sovereignty, and commoning, de la boue et des racines is a collective offering, to be - together in the mud.
