The Letter, 2023

Video 6:08

The Letter is a humorous fairy tale meant as a critique on cultural power structures that leave out women. Messages in a reappearing letter prompt and challenge the ways old knowledge is communicated, which the two women, playfully dressed to imitate goddesses, already know.
