Her work is often about spiritual relationships to the material stuff of this world. Co-founder of the Dirt Palace in 2000 AD (feminist cupcake-encrusted netherworld located along the dioxin filled banks of the Woonasquatucket River, which is to say in Providence, RI, USA).

This series presents films and videos that depict and embody systems of power and ruptures where these systems become visible.

Programmed by David Dinnell and Ted Kennedy.
