Shapeshifty, 2022
Shapeshifty is a publishing experiment permeating the politics of visibility and invisibility of language embodied in a garment that is a protective armour and safety blanket at the same time. The work engages with the concept of code switching (or language alteration) of a specific context and lived experiences of Rotterdam artists Sami Hammana, Sandim Mendes and Sarafina Paulina Bonita and the fashion designer Karen Huang.
