Successively erased, covered over, she recounts intimate moments of her life. As the story emerges, and through the unspoken, a portrait of her relationship with a little too close friend takes shape.
The dialogue heard in the background is based on a correspondence that has taken place since 2021 between visual artist Miia Autio and Beninese medium and traditional healer Koffi Robert Djossou. Through this exchange, the artist seeks to explore a worldview unfamiliar to her – that of Vodun, the world’s largest nature-based religion. The work is a dive into Vodoun’s invisible realm and into questions concerning the relationship between belief, images, and reality. The pursuit of the invisible world initiated a personal process for the artist, in which various messages, dreams, and whispers of wind began, almost of their own accord, to carry the story forward.

Two hundred years ago immigrant farmers in the Catskills, fed up with oppression and exploitation by absentee landlords, staged a rebellion known as the Anti-Rent War. The uprising changed the course of history, paving the way to land rights across America and to the formation of a new political group—Abraham Lincoln’s Republican Party. Today, although largely forgotten, the historic uprising lives on through direct descendants of those rebellious farmers. Calico Rebellion explores a pivotal moment in American history, and a community’s unique and enduring connection to the past through the songs, stories, and costumes preserved from the 1840s. Part historical “true crime” story and part meditation on land and belonging in America, Calico Rebellion is a deep dive into small town America, its identity, idealism and the violence that percolates beneath the surface.
