Neptune and Ruins

Neptune

Lois Alexander uses water and its transformational qualities as points of departure to reflect on her position as a woman situated at the margins. Water has three states: solid, liquid, gas, and it is always in transition. Surrounded by melting blocks of ice, the artist examines the social structures that continue to effect women of color and rewrites the narrative from her own perspective. Through the intersection of dance, visual art and sound, Neptune creates a universe that triggers the imagination to form new modes of existence. Neptune is a collaboration between scenographer Nina Kay and composer Shannon Sea.

Ruins

Waddah Sinada and Rhys Dennis open a dialogue surrounding the myth of masculinity as it is felt within the Pan-African diaspora. They are deconstructing the power struggle within themselves and finding the balance between conflict, vulnerability, and codependency. By doing so, they own and repair their deeper anxieties that they have learned so well to mask.
Ruins’ is an interdisciplinary project displayed through live performance, film and photography. This work is a testimony of the generational trauma inherited by men from marginalised groups with the mission of creating a space where the black male figure is more visible and honestly represented in its full complexity.
