Digital video, 17:00. slope-tend-big is an oral history interview with my parents about lesbian parenting, social work and the early gay scene in Leeds and Manchester, overlaid with diaristic footage from my more precarious life. It foregrounds forms of intergenerational learning, caring in nightlife and kinship, while exposing inherent tensions in these forms of debt. It was commissioned SHOUT Festival of Queer Art & Culture and Grand Union, and accompanied with an installation, a small residency for a queer collective, and a series of events and screenings I programmed. You can watch this on vimeo here.
