Taylor talked about why she makes “ethical spectacles,” which connect her creativity and her activism:
the spectacle is something that captivates, something that illuminates and that generates this imagination. Right. Imagining a different world that then can go into movement building. And for me, that's what ties all of this together. Right. All of these different things I do, whether it's my interest in philosophy, my interest in politics, my interest in social change, my interest in film as a medium, it's all about shifting perception.
