The result of a correspondence between the artists, 8mm film shot in North Karelia, and archival material. The average life expectancy of a girl born in Finland is 84.2 years—the work focuses on the statistical midpoint of the protagonist’s life, reflecting through the concept of an oceanic feeling on themes of death, fear of death, embodiment, and intergenerationality.
The dialogue heard in the background is based on a correspondence that has taken place since 2021 between visual artist Miia Autio and Beninese medium and traditional healer Koffi Robert Djossou. Through this exchange, the artist seeks to explore a worldview unfamiliar to her – that of Vodun, the world’s largest nature-based religion. The work is a dive into Vodoun’s invisible realm and into questions concerning the relationship between belief, images, and reality. The pursuit of the invisible world initiated a personal process for the artist, in which various messages, dreams, and whispers of wind began, almost of their own accord, to carry the story forward.

After years of being silenced through violent opposition, Norma Burton, one of the key founders of the first women’s shelter in Tulsa, OK, tells an untold story of the battered women's movement. In the late 1970s and early 1980’s LGBTQ, BIPOC, and formerly abused women across the US gathered in secret to create a grassroots movement that became today's National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, despite persecution and death threats. Norma recounts to her daughter, director Nisha Burton, how she and her collaborators alerted the police of rising cases of domestic violence and ultimately decided to take matters into their own hands by conducting support gatherings in their homes around the kitchen table. These meetings led to the founding of the first battered women’s shelter in Tulsa, OK in 1975. The years that followed were filled with harassment and verbal and physical attacks on Norma and fellow organizers, but today these courageous advocates continue to support the movement.
