Fireflies is a work of auto-fiction, filtering documentary and performance through the lens of feminist science-fiction to tell the story of violence, survival and world-building.

My mother and grandmother were both child brides and survivors of domestic-sexual violence.

I wrote myself in these various landscapes where you see me returned to earth to heal. I believe a womxn’s understanding of and engagement in our environment is vital. This perspective resists the logic of capitalist economies which places the exploitation of the planet at its centre.

Alona Pardo (Barbican), writes, "Fireflies underscores a matrilineal heritage and genealogy that speaks to the violence which is all too often bestowed on womxn's bodies, highlighting female oppression and the hetero-patriarchal cultural values that are also a shared trauma, and notions of self love.”

Creating a dynamic interplay that transports the viewer into a multiverse outside of the space time continuum —One film is narrative: crash landed and alone, an astronaut find herself on a barren planet where time collapses and the past, present and future merge. The other film is a work of cybernetic feminism.

Using 16mm film and archives, Fireflies disrupts notions of time to locate the work in its own terra.
