In Their Finest (excerpt)
Winner of Blake Prize - Emerging (2021)
In Their Finest explores the conservation of tradition as negotiated by families experiencing instability and living on stolen land.

As the video unfolds the notions of practicing tradition and social conformity are challenged by an unexpected turbulence within the Family.
