Yödoishëndahgwa'geh (a place to rest) is an inter-sensorial installation of moving images and sounds by Seneca artist Rosy Simas and her collaborative composer François Richomme. The intention of the installation is to contribute to the healing of generations on the river behind us - our ancestors, and in front of us - generations yet to be born. In this micro-short film, Sam Aros-Mitchell dances within the installation, connecting future, past, and present through movement born out of deep listening.  

Heidi Eckwall and Sam Aros-Mitchell provided advice and technical assistance and made this iteration of Yödoishëndahgwa'geh (a place to rest) possible.
