Woven Bonds

Two poets meet for the first time, unaware of what the other will share. Through their words, an unexpected connection takes shape.

What counterspells are present in your work?

In this film, we delve into the transformative power of collective unity forged through deep listening and shared humanity. Amidst societal divisions perpetuated by laws and political climates, we find ourselves under a metaphorical “spell” used to divide and separate. To break free, we must cast a collective “counterspell” by uniting in solidarity, especially within marginalized communities, to dismantle barriers and advocate for collective liberation.
