Borealis Festival:
Argument of the Broken Window
An immersive, site-specific piece commissioned by Borealis Festival for March On London, marking key moments in the women's suffrage movement. The work reimagined Emmeline Pankhurst's 1912 'Broken Window' speech as a walking route from Waterloo to Westminster, with video, audio, and AR installations embedded along the way.
At one point, we witness a brutal force-feeding — the hustle and bustle of oblivious tourists becoming a passive, disinterested audience to the spectacle.
Created with Michele Panegrossi. Other commissioned artists included Anat Ben-David and Langham Research Center.
