Covid-19 shut down the world. In two linked rooms, two Indigenous women experience the isolation in very different ways. Paypura immerses the user in their challenges and coping strategies as they navigate the constant anxiety and dread of a global pandemic. As Indigenous people physically disconnected from their traditional lands, it is family and blood memory that helps them find their own path back to resilience.
