An Erasure

This video traces the process of stripping a colonial text, one whose language is steeped in conquest and feminization of the land, as a subversive act. By transforming the perspective and thus the power dynamic, this erasure overwrites the dominant narrative with a story that centers who and what the original text claims ownership over.
