Fleeting Moments

It is the day of a colleague’s leaving party at a care home. Linda, a 60 year old Ghanaian caregiver, encounters Karlene, her 34-year-old Jamaican colleague, hastily preparing in the women’s toilet. What begins as casual banter evolves into a profound exchange. As they share their stories and struggles, Linda and Karlene find common ground, realizing that despite their different backgrounds, they share similar hopes, fears, and aspirations. In this intimate encounter, Linda and Karlene discover unexpected depths within themselves, leading to a transformative journey towards acceptance, healing, and the embrace of their authentic selves.

The Woman in the Wardrobe

The Woman in the Wardrobe burrows under Nadiya’s skin, and captures the spirit of birth from her point of view.
We meet Nadiya at the final stages of her solo labour, where she has locked herself in her family wardrobe with a key that resides on a necklace around her sternum. Small embers of the brutal outside world stream through the open slats of the darkened wardrobe.

The wardrobe is a tiny pocket of happiness in the centre of a genocide. It harbours a moment of feminine power and facilitates an internally epic transformation. The space gifts what is taken away in war, it holds new life and a glimpse of a hopeful future beyond the conflict.
The wardrobe is a womb, a cradle, a portal to safety. It fiercely protects Nadiya and her newborn.
