Subliminal Lullabies for a Postmodern Inheritance

As younger generations enter the labour market to build upon dreams inherited from the past, we start to confront the limits that centuries of unchecked acceleration and colonial legacy have brought us to. In a time defined by the fragmentary fallout of modernity, where and when can we find rest? What do we still dare to desire for a better future for ourselves and those who will come after? And what do we need to mourn in order to move on from crushed expectations and utopias past? Blending sound and text with visuals that transport the mishmash of old-new-secular-spiritual-here-there, “Subliminal Lullabies” remixes interviews with individuals coming to terms with the state of the present and anxiety about the future into a lullaby-lament to sooth the nervous system without turning away.
