The Sky's In There


This video work by Dani and Sheilah ReStack pulls the experience of becoming mother (both through fostering and bio) through the lens of personal lives that are always, also, steeped in a world where systemic racism, classism and heteronormativity influence and shape. Using documentary footage, a journey into a cave, a dream recounted and formal strategies of color, sound and movement the ReStack’s push experiences and ideas together to see what can yield or reveal.  The Sky’s In There proposes a fragmented meditation on the capacity of relation to bring about transformation.
