Re-Currents is a new multichannel piece using the voice as an instrument for real-time composition. It researches militarised gender violence and is inspired by a practice adrienne maree brown and Walidah Imarisha developed and called visionary fiction, which aims to imagine new just worlds through bottom up collective organising. Through live looping, effects processing, spatialisation and audio responsive light, a non-aligning world of linked solidarity systems is sketched. Hidden in plain sight, in the midnight zone of the ocean, it exists in the cracks of our world. Using the light particles to shine around them, its inhabitants obscure their own silhouette, gathering and organising on frequencies which can not
be perceived by the unquenchable thirst of man. Adapting to life under water, they bear witness – their greatest currency.

Visionary fiction is a writing practice deriving from the idea that all forms of organising are a way of science fiction. Contrary to traditional science fiction narratives, which often feature a single hero fighting injustice through internalising and replicating systems of oppression, visionary fiction aims to, through the method of collective writing, imagine worlds in which human or other species tap into their mental archives, utilise local knowledge and through bottom-up organisation transform the world beyond its exploitative and extractivist dynamics of power.

It is in that imagining that Medvedeva sees freedom for herself to not solely collect accounts of but also attempt to envision transformative change, non-conformist methodologies, mechanisms of civil disobedience and resistance through writing, especially in time of war and worldwide decline of civil rights at the hands of extractivist racist patriarchies, which in terms puts pressure on political action and civil organising.
