Jeu Jeu la Foille's Testy Manifesto
Enchantress weaves words of inner resilience, recovery and revolution in a striking visual anthology
Strange, poetic and acerbically silly, Jeu Jeu la Foille's Testy Manifesto combines linguistic acrobatics with evocative images to delve deep into the mechanisms of intimate partner violence.
Bear witness to a vivid story so many experience in an unashamedly personal exploration of misogyny, protest, and a game where to win is to survive.
