Termite TV has always explored new visual language and approaches to understanding and reflecting on our current political, social, and cultural moments. The Pandemic has opened a space for collective reflection on what it means to ‘return to normal’ and push boundaries for resisting and refining what we accept as guiding principles and norms in our lives.
This ‘moment,’ which we should now accept as life, calls us to consider the foundations we build and continue to uphold on personal, daily, and global levels. This collection of work steps into this portal of possibility; work that holds a mirror to our reality but allows us a crack to step through it.
