"Cypher - Body Memory" a short dance & fashion film by DDVM

This is our space - this is our time. an anti-colonial approach.
An experimental place, where different states of our internal process are expressed through reconnecting to the native language, self- reflection and individual emotions. The Latinx/indigenous/black-indigenous and diasporic collective body wants to arrive in the present, to reclaim its indigenous existence. During the cypher moment with improv- movement and through breaking out of oppressed structures and social codes, a safe place of recovery is growing. to decolonize, we have to acknowledge. attached detached in our reconnecting progress within ourselves, every emotion and everything we forgot is allowed to exist. This visual is not a solution, it's a representation of a place of arrival that is necessary, a visibility and understanding before sustainable change can happen. A place for empowerment.
- To reshape we have to recover
