TRAMS TRAINS TKZEE + ME

Image by Scottnes Smith.

A short film about cultural dissonance.

“Growing up in the hood is informed by public transport. So you get to Melbourne and there’s public transport everywhere, trams, trains and busses. It’s extremely sanitized, well-lit, and organized.
Somehow you find a discord, a disharmony internally.
To give expression to that schism you put on your headphones, you play TKZEE, you’re listening to your upbringing, surrounded by people who have no idea the world that you come from…” Scottnes
