T H R E E S O M E
We are delighted and proud to announce our digital collaboration with DI2ª - a virtual occupation that takes place weekly on the YouTube channel PINK UMBRELLAS ART RESIDENCY created by the duo MXM.
.
T H R E E S O M E is a collaborative performance project developed between John Herman (Cologne, Germany) Thaís Almeida Prado (São Paulo, Brazil) and Va-Bene Elikem Fiatsi aka crazinisT artisT (Kumasi, Ghana).
.
It is a digital performance video created by the three artists - three nationalities, three bodies, three languages, three souls, three spirits - while merging their own stories into multiple layers amidst all complexities. This video is to reimagine a common place, intimate bodies, and a safe community where all humans converge and experience unconditional love.
.
It explores and investigates the complexities of racial borders, gender fluidity and sexual taboos through which the artists aim at interrogating and demystifying the conceptions and notions of perfect and imperfect bodies. In other words it is an attempt to dismantle masculinity and femininity as standards for recategorization and definitions for several bodies that exist beyond our imaginations. In fact T H R E E S O M E is an intimate dialogue that seeks to decategorize the bodies making ways for indefinite self proclamations and reenvisioning alternative bodies.
.
"We are bodies, we are souls, we are spirits, we are humans" proclaimed by the artists as a protest to challenge the heteronormative system and patriarchal structures that violates human rights, freedom and justice.
