Lark in A Sky Shop

Synopsis

A music video inspired by Jacob Collier’s song 'Lark in A Sky Shop'. It explores the depth of tension within one’s soul and life, stretched between light and darkness, day and night, oppression and freedom, and the turbulent navigation through it all. It’s about being pressed, found, and brought into a spacious place. It’s a dialogue, a confrontation, a story full of twists and turns, which ultimately suggests the possibility of discovering a source of life, freedom, and everlasting love.

The Baby Factory is Closed

Director: Deepa Mann-Kler

Year: 2026

A 20-minute single-player immersive VR experience that places users inside the body of Zoraan, a British-born Sikh woman navigating menopause amidst climate collapse and the ruins of colonial medicine. You breathe with her. You scream with her. You dance your way out of sedation. Blending real-time visuals, bio-haptic feedback and diasporic sound, this work reframes menopause not as decline but as volatile power; closing ‘The Baby Factory’ to ignite a cultural revolution. Using gesture, voice and biometric feedback, audiences become co-conspirators in a volatile act of embodied rebellion. This is not a metaphor. This is an insurgency.
