Eyes watch. Words bend. Safety flickers. In Charlotte Brathwaite and Ismail Khalidi’s startling Thought/Crime (inspired by Orwell’s prophetic classic, 1984) we move through a landscape of shifting truths in a vision of the future and a world shaped by fear, control, and quiet acts of defiance. Thought/Crime is an immersive mirror into the present moment, where language is weaponized, safety is conditional, and silence is deadly.
