to imagine new possibilities we need to think beyond our imagination. Afro surrealism beliefs that the past is in the present. There is a future past which is a present shaped by historical trauma's. The four seasons connects 3 women through time and space who are suffering from intergenerational trauma's caused by the Trans Atlantic slave trade.
