From author, visual artist, and video artist Jared Pappas-Kelley comes Transmission 3: Mt St Helens, one of a series of literary media art dispatches harvested from personal moments expressed by a voice emulator and visually paired with minimalist animations based on Pappas-Kelley’s drawings. Teetering in-tension between the personal and the de-personalized, between human and machine, and aurally synchronized with a maximalist electronic score, Transmission 3: Mt St Helens induces an internal pressure sympathetic to the storied volcanic Mt. St Helens and its 1980 eruption. On stark display is childhood and innocence spliced and deftly rendered with destabilizing technique. The slow, slurry realization of possibly running away crests in an aural drone. And the existential monotone telling of the volcanic eruption oozes a lasting eeriness about how like a snow day it was, but apocalyptic.
At speed, train tracks and distant surroundings are rendered gestural oscillations between the abstract and concrete.

Sierra Leonian artist Julianknxx uses his personal history as a prism to deconstruct dominant perspectives on African art, history, and culture.

As the philosopher Édouard Glissant has written: ‘you can change with the Other while being yourself, you are not one, you are multiple, and you are yourself.’

Kith is a short film directed and edited by Ruth Jones. It is the outcome of a participatory arts project run by Holy Hiatus that explored family, home, longing and belonging. What does it mean to be part of a ‘family’? How does one’s own identity change when the family shifts and changes – when people leave or arrive through birth, death or voluntary/involuntary separation? How does the passage of time alter our perception of family dynamics? What creative testaments could there be to powerful internal shifting processes, endurance and surrender to new realities? We worked in Welsh and English with thirteen participants from west Wales for who these themes resonated through creative writing.
