SINGLISM – ARE YOU HERE ALONE?

A noisy pond of humans in the field. I put on a strained smile. A stranger stares at me waiting for my answer. I look down at the wrinkled mushroom caps that just got squished. In between the silence a swarm of words rush through me. Are you here alone? A BBC report estimates 52% of UK adults experienced single shaming since the start of the pandemic. There is a deficit bias in society that considers singletons to be in a transitional period rather than in a state of contentment. Normative Idealization and Matrimania are based around the idea that there are ‘standards of relationships’ that cannot be changed. While social norms compete with each other, people are beginning to shed their patriarchal pasts and leave Singlism behind.

THE PRISM OF LINES – NAEZRAH

Her smile glistens at me, with gemstones on her teeth. A colourgon blending into eyelids. Naezrah Desir is the Make-Up artist who instruments her living avatar. Magnifying characters through fiction, nature and mythology. A fairy and nymph series with Kellan – ´the fairy of immortality and peace´, who was gifted with psychokinesis and telekinetic abilities. With a voice beyond Make-Up, Naezrah uses her platform to start conversations and elevate BIPOC and LGBTQAI+ artists in the industry.

SHIFT WITH VIKA IM & NINA SANDGAARD

A pearl clitoris glistening. Mantled in nacre, watching over the passengers walking by. The exhibition “Shift” shows artists installations in Magasin du Nord, Denmark's oldest department store. A collaboration with Designers´Nest. Each oval vacuum is filled with a vision. One portal was opened by fashion designer @vika.im_official and graphic designer @sandgaardstudio. A four meter high vulva created with fabric layering.
