2018. Audio, 5:00

This audio work is meant to be listened to on a loop. It has no beginning and no end. 

Inspired by the stories of South Sudanese women, this work reflects their continuous experience of running away from war in South Sudan to settlement camps in northern Uganda, and returning back home to South Sudan only to have to run away again when conflict erupts. They have experienced this cycle of displacement and return for over ten years.
