    • Synopsis
    • “wells of despair” addresses the instruments of power that were and still are permeating contempt towards forms of relationality by subjugating the knowledge systems. driven by the extractivist machines, the land is distorted and turned into a mass, indigenous worlds are erased through extinction of traditional livelihoods. listening to the loss that speaks, sata taas follows shadows of the displaced belongings in ethnographic museums and searches for relations disturbed by the power structures of the consuming gaze.
