Local Woman

A pulpy, mytho-poetic dispatch from an "anarchist jurisdiction" that explores the liberatory possibilities of community and womanhood.

Enter: Local Woman, an archetypal figure, fresh from the forest into the streets of Portland, Oregon. She is a Black trans woman, seeking survival and satisfaction, giving seduction, disenfranchisement, and the contradictions of femme womanhood a face, body, and soul. In sensual, evocative lyrics, Jzl Jmz documents Local Woman's movement through natural disaster, anti-fascist protest, romantic engagements, and an expanding sense of personal autonomy.
