The lead single off their album of the same name, Native Tongue (2018) saw artist Mo’Ju explore cultural identity through music, movement and striking visuals. Deceptively simple, it uses a single shot of Mo’Ju and three Djuki Mala dancers walking through an unmistakably Australian landscape. The glitch effect utilised not only adds visual emphasis to the on-screen movement, but also underlines the poignant lyrics.
