Journeying through six passages of time, this video was made by artists Sarah Cole & Annis Joslin working with women who attend Joining Hands Joining Hearts, a support charity supporting women who have experienced domestic violence and/or sexual abuse. Playful, insistent, dark yet uplifting, Messy Business is an elegy to their wisdom, resilience and pain, giving a voice to those who kept quiet for too long but who now want to shout off the rooftops.
This film was originally commissioned by People United for their Self Identity Commission.
