Set in a future dystopian England after ecological collapse due to the climate crisis, Talaucaka follows four women navigating a haunting reality inside the ruins of the British Museum, now an e-waste processing facility. Memory is currency. Questions are forbidden. Time belongs to King George. But as they perform their seemingly vital data tasks, disturbing inconsistencies emerge. An exploration of temporal sovereignty, cultural identity, and the power of collective memory in an age where everything you know lives in the cloud.
