an uprising an intifada

Work

A dream-like meditation on clear space and clearing the body from invasive toxic greens, breathing into the greens of healing. An Uprising An Intifada emerges in the wake of the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, and not long after the murder of Eyad al-Hallaq in Palestine. Gathering together historic and present vines weaving Palestinian and Black solidarity in collaboration with the greens of Mni Sota Makoce land and waters. We channel rage, ancestors, and peace through dancing. We deepen our witnessing and listening to one another.

An Uprising An Infifada was comissioned by DISCO RIOT’s Move America online film series based out of San Francisco, and was screened at the Arab American Museum in Dearborn, MI.
