The universe of the Miracle Workers Collective shifts, cuts and jumps across space-time and exists across numerous weather systems, landscapes, and spiritual realms simultaneously. The Killing of Cahceravga - their collective film work - is a collision of five different short films that tell a disjointed, communal narrative employing a call-and-response strategy to express a politicised dialogue around indigeneity, movement and migration in contemporary Europe. The collective - a group of cultural workers employing practices in literature, filmmaking, art, curating, choreography, and music - share an interest in exploring the potentiality in disciplinary disobedience.
