CV

BackA trans-disciplinary artist using film, performance, textiles, and installation. Moira chases belonging and the myths of her ancestry through water and land. This takes her into complex relationships through time; human and non-human histories, global trade economies, ancestral intuition, and the transformation of rupture.

Created with community participants in Seedhill, Paisely, as part of On-Belonging, a series of workshops for B/black and brown women and mothers on identity, migration, and expression.

The film follows four women’s stories as they interact with the filmmaker’s collected objects, and film eachother’s journey to the White Cart river waterfall (or the Hamills) where they perform a small personal ritual.

Exploring research around the specific geological conditions of the river that enabled its use as a power source for Paisley’s industry.

Additonal offerings included a movement workshop with Ashanti Harris, and screening of Sweet Sugar Rage, by Sistren Theatre Collective, 1985, with community partners KARIOS Women+ and Pachedu.

Supported by the Culture Collective.
