The body becomes the storyteller. The minds behind Jedda Daisy Culley + Desert Designs found inspiration in the Dreamtime bird Mangkaja, along with the screen prints of artist Jimmy Pike, for their latest interpretive film. Co-directed by Cloudy Rhodes, with music by Cosmic Youth and Daniel Stricker and mesmeric moves from Waangenga Blanco and Yolanda Lowatta, it coincides with the launch of a new T-shirt collection and fresh website from the brand. Go on and let it move you.
