A techno-surrealist land-based prayer prompt, co-created through a participatory process that brought together community organizers, activists, leaders, artists, spiritual leaders, filmmakers and educators on Seminole & Miccosukee land (currently known as Miami). Inspired together by liberation work, Maroonage, Miccosukee symbology, somatic healing, Afro & Indigenous futurism, plant medicine, biomimicry, and holding the contradictions of the urban matrix on stolen land. Woven together with themes from teamLab, Es Devlin, and James Turrell’s inaugural exhibitions at Superblue Miami, exploring the relationships between our body and the land, nature and technology, the individual and the collective.

Directed by Cara Stricker

Created by Niki Franco, Houston R. Cypress (Otter Clan), Rad Pereira, LILLETH, Cara Stricker, and our collaborators, ancestors, and guides
