Description:
"Museum of Lungs” is a musical documentary performance that excavates archive material and mixes intimate confession with haunted histories to convey vulnerability as a core of strength, and illness as a site of resistance and transformation. Set in contemporary South Africa, where tuberculosis is endemic, a writer tells her personal story of living with undiagnosed TB for years before receiving treatment. She asks questions about the precariousness of our individual and collective bodies, highlighting the colonial and systemic racial structures as well as the violence of our healthcare and political systems.
Laila worked as a Director for this project.
