Reviews
"Tapes that reflect an astonishing variety of styles...The work is both self-reflexive and defiant, speaking both to media practices in home countries and to political and social conditions under or misrepresented in Western media." - Claire Aguilar, AFTERIMAGE

TWN acknowledges that in New York we are on the unceded territory of the Lenni Lenape, Canarsie, Shinecock, and Munsee peoples and challenges the harm that continues to be inflicted upon Indigenous and People of Color communities here and abroad, which is why we all need to be part of the struggle for rights, equality and justice.
