Wearing your Stabs (2019)
Performance
Beaux-Arts, Paris, France
Wearing your Stabs confronts prejudices surrounding queer identities and the moral condemnation of sexuality perpetuated by dominant religious legacies. Inspired by ancestral rituals from my Indigenous origins, the performance transforms the body—beneath a relentless 38°C sun—into a vessel of energy where movement, blood, and sweat converge as emblems of life and magic, building toward cathartic release. Cold water concludes the piece, offering relief and sealing the reclamation of power and sovereignty.
