A sound journey through the poetry of Jean Baptiste Tati, to Tara Jerome, Benjamin Black and Lewis Cameron. We travel an alien world akin to our own, following the footsteps of the Mantis. Travel from the rustles of underneath a Mantis wing, to out of space and back again....

Featuring Musician Benjamin Black and Poet Lewis Cameron

In collaboration with Ryan Hart, this composition speaks of the connection that young POC hold to our natural surroundings when regarding our history to the slave trade and how, in an act of resistance, slaves working on plantations would escape the plantation for a brief moment to cultivate crops in order to sustain themselves as many people were malnourished and mistreated be slave owners. 
We have a spiritual duty to uphold these relations and remember the sacrifices made by our ancestors for the benefit of our survival. 
Reviving the stories which lead to where we are now.
