Earth AD 2

By  Uma Breakdown 2023

Earth A.D. 2 is an expansive body of work by artist Uma Breakdown, spanning immersive installation, writing and video games, and draws on their research into ongoing collective repair. The work explores the structures and history of Gothic narratives, and their creative relationships to time, space, identity and social relations. At the same time it’s a science fiction story about trans solidarity and care across time and space, which is repeatedly told, distorted, translated, lost, and reinvented.

A videogame which forms part of the project is playable here.
