UBIK Performance Night / Salon of Queer Indoctrinations

St.Elio’s Salon of Queer Indoctrinations is a series of performance nights that aim to generate communal, multi-perspective knowledge and awareness by collectively exploring different social concepts, relevant to queer thought. For the first iteration of this performance night, the theme is “Postcolonialism”.

The night will include live performances from different artist’s, who’s work relates to the theme, and a group discussion between everyone present will follow.

3 artists have been invited to perform:

Denk neni ( ድንቅ ነን) (he/him) is a poet and hip-hop artist from Ethiopia, currently residing in Rotterdam. His work revolves around the themes of love, life, resistance, struggle, and the communist utopia he envisions for humanity, where equality exists in its purest form, where we are governed by love and morality. He takes a lot of inspiration from prayer to God, hip-hop artists, books, soul music, and the day-to-day existence and interaction with the living and non-living.

ABU SHHAB (They/He/She) is a show girl, online troll, conceptual performer and an audio/visual artist working with vanity as a research space in identity politics. A novelist without novels, they create and perform an excessive amount of alter egos and characters with many different story arcs and urgencies, in time writing their own narratives in various contexts of nightlife, online platforms, museums, clubs and contemporary art spaces. Abushhab's latest framework uses troll debates as a medium of research in social media platform to engage with harmful political rhetorics and oppose it with vulgar satire.

Fay (they/them) is an arab performance artist based in the netherlands. their work deals with durational research developed through bodies, tongues and the precarity of presence. their urgency to create art comes from their need to find language by utilizing a methodology of stealing time. stealing time comes in the form of long durational rituals that invites others to think along the question at the heart of fay’s current research on “how can a precarious body preserve itself?”
