Night Pollinators

Darkness hums with unseen life; whilst moths quietly slip from bloom to bloom, restless bodies do not sleep.  
Night Pollinators traces the lives of three generations of women over one summer. Set in an empty house, a London allotment and a re-wilded lake, the threads of their stories weave together in an observation on both female ageing and damaged ecologies.
Older women are framed as having lost their femininity and desire along with reproductive capacity, reflected in collective mythologies and archetypes. Women are re-presenting both the term ‘crone’ and the menopause, celebrating this transformative stage of their lives.

It requires fanatical determination now to become a crone… She must bear herself, her third self, her old age, with travail and alone.” Ursula Le Guin.
