GOODW.Y.N.
This body-performance questions the meaning behind the artist’s presence and existence as a Black woman—in correlation with both body image and body positivity, but also in challenge to the traditional viewership of beauty that remains prevalent in the Western world. Viewers are encouraged to use social media during the performance, because these elements add an additional take on the principles of voyeurism and objectification upon the presence of Black bodies. Modern day ownership and properties are subjects that have much to do with Black bodies in public and the fear of freedoms being revoked.
