Interactive performance by Naa Nuerkie (Ghana)

”How does textiles create a cohesive bond between individuals, groups and communities and also as a sense of belonging?
I am outside of home (currently in residency at SU-EN Butoh Company studio) but in this new home I find fabrics (leftover pieces) which it what I usually use in my home and studio for my work. Even though I feel different here, I intend to create a sense of belonging here through these textiles/left over pieces by inviting passersby to help me to stitch or sew these pieces onto my costume.”

Naa is an emerging interdisciplinary artist whose work focuses on the art of fashion, textile installation, the theatricality of fabrics and costumes in relation to politics, culture, power, value and identity. She is interested in the mysteries and spirituality of how textiles can create a cultural unit and sense of belonging. She is the founder and director of the NuerKien_Fashart studio and also a board member of the perfocraZe International Artist Residency in Kumasi-Ghana.
