USA

In July 2023, we ran the Embodying the Video Essay (E.V.E.) workshop, which focussed on performance–based embodied practices, led by media artist–scholar Dr Dayna McLeod. These videos are my responses to the prompts. The final piece I made was an early version of The Language of Rage, which was then revised and published in Teknokultura: Journal of Digital Culture and Social Movements in 2024. You can find out more about E.V.E. here.
