A meditation on Black mobility and the terror of moving through space, time, and collective grief. A woman witnesses the murder of a young boy by a police officer and suffers from a prolonged mental breakdown that renders her incapable of leaving her apartment.
ELEPHANT explores the body, space, and mental health of those witnessing and undergoing oppression, assault, trauma, and loss. A holistic process-driven long-form multidisciplinary project about self-care and healing with participation from the beloved community incorporating writing, photography, music, design, technology and performance art.
