What Would Billie Do?
What Would Billie Do? was a commission by HOME, Manchester to explore loss of self through love. Following Najia's own story of heartbreak, this project involved the public through two-way conversation performances, collection of unwanted objects associated to previous relationships, a short film / documentary piece and musical performances by Najia, Rioghnach Connolly and Lis Murphy.
