Where can “farmed”, or better said, exploited animals go when they escape? Our upcoming animated essay wishes to explore just that, beginning with the famously documented case of Matilda, a pregnant sow who tried to find freedom for her yet-unborn youngsters and herself.

We've been long thinking about animal sanctuaries and the possibilities materialized through them for formerly "farmed" animals, so an animated essay on this topic was long due!

💫 Thinking back on 2023 we see how years pass both fast and slow, how they are both long and short. We planned a lot, life happened, and we managed to do some of the things! 🎀 Here’s a very short wrap-up to remember that things happened.
