EVERY STEP IS A PRAYER 

SHORT FILM

A techno-surrealist land-based prayer prompt, co-created through a participatory process that brought together community organizers, activists, leaders, artists, spiritual leaders, filmmakers and educators on Seminole & Miccosukee land (currently known as Miami).

Directed by Cara Stricker

Inspired together by liberation work, Maroonage, Miccosukee symbology, somatic healing, Afro & Indigenous futurism, plant medicine, biomimicry, and holding the contradictions of the urban matrix. Woven together with teamLab, Es Devlin, and James Turrell’s inaugural exhibitions at Superblue Miami, exploring the relationships between our body and the land, nature and technology, the individual and the collective.
