crazinisT artisT (GH), Kall for Healing

Healing is a process and a ritual of becoming through physical, spiritual, mental and emotional endurance, violence and alternative death. Healing and its rituals are paradoxical, leaving us with new scars and fresh memories of our wounds that allow us to reimagine our own wholeness, survival, strength and experience a new perfection. In Kall for Healing, the artist invites the audience to join the ritual of healing as an intimate encounter, communal solidarity and to reflect on their own wounds. It allows both the artist and the audience to reimagine their own journey to healings.

Va-Bene Elikem Fiatsi, aka crazinisT artisT, is a mutlidisciplinary artivist, curator and mentor from Ghana. She works with performance and installation to investigate gender stereotypes, prejudices, queerness, identity politics and conflicts, sexual stigma and their consequences for marginalised people. With rituals and a gender-fluid persona, she employs her own body as a thought-provoking tool confronting issues such as disenfranchisement, injustice, violence, objectification, internalised oppression, anti blackness, systemic indoctrination and many more.
