about

Music Video, Desert Pslam: www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0r-8hx1JME

Inspired by “Women Who Run With the Wolves,” the cult classic feminist book by Clarissa Pinkola Estés, this short film explores themes of myth, transformation and power and feminine instinct. The call to a more empowered relationship to grief shows up in the way of many bones, one 50’s pink payphone in the forest, and many pig skulls from a local butcher strung across the apparition of La Loba, or Bone Woman, who drags them around like the weight of ancestral womanhood and modern day gender expectations.

How and where do we meet our true selves? Our shadows? What bones are we dragging around? Is a woman fully in her power the spookiest thing ever?

Desert Psalm was brought to life by a team of five female artists, whose ages span four decades, making their own opportunities, creating collaborative structure outside a patriarchal top-down norm, and tapping into myth and wisdom outside the male gaze.

As you can imagine, it gets witchy in the best way. But don’t just imagine. Watch it, and if it moves you, send it along to a human in your life who could use some singing over the bones, so that new life may be conjured. Happy Death // Re-birth Day // Halloween to all you lovely, wobbly, rockstar witches and goblins out there!
