Abstract
Dispersal follows moments in the lives of Harbour, LaVon, Kaya, and an alien who live on an Atlantic Canadian landscape that is deteriorating due to climate change. As their lives and relationships intersect they find their understandings of the landscape that they live on changing and their understanding of their “selves” as unstable, malleable, and sometimes transferable. Dispersal asks what our relationships mean to each other, our pasts, presents, futures, when our worlds and our planet seem to always fall apart and reemerge as something new and strange.
