demarcations; you have black eyes (cheshmeh siya daree)

2024 9 min

Drawing its title from a song by Afghan singer Ahmad Zahir, "you have black eyes" is a stream-of-consciousness montage depicting collective bodies in a constant state of disruption, movement, processing, and grieving. It celebrates the body as a historical, domestic site of resistance through dance and movement including found footage of ants carrying flowers, rubab player Ustad Beltoon interrupted, and Hazara throat singing across an imaginary landscape.
