Leila Gamaz uses remembrance and prayer rituals to resurrect and reimagine forms of collective liberation through writing, film and oral stories as an extension of her lifelong counter-archiving practice. Coming from a lineage of herbalists, shapeshifters and freedom fighters who have preserved these ways - despite purposeful erasure - she celebrates this voice of resistance which has kept generations of people and stories alive. She seeks to continue this legacy, burning the candle bright in times of deep division.
