Words Beneath Bridges departs from the limits of journalism in documenting queer experiences in order to register the agency of youth in unravelling white supremacy and annexation of land. De Swardt structures the work in four sequences as “sunstrokes of voice”, searing, exhaustive articulations in which techniques of collage - such as the cut, the inlay and occlusion - are transposed to performance.

NEGLECT( | running time 45min
LIGHTING DESIGNER | Gretchen Blegen

Anne Historical plays the role of a technician attempting to fix an analogue Artificial Intelligence constructed out of magnetic tape loops and analogue projectors, with a glitch: this AI suffers from Neglect. Neurological damage to one of the cortical hemisphere's affects one's ability to recognise objects, sounds, people located on the left or right sphere of perception. The analogue AI becomes a metaphor for our inattention, for the half we neglect.
