CARMEN-SIBHA KEISO presents: "On Love & Fascism: the cultivated self"

Keiso will be reflecting on the notion of existential writing as a therapeutic praxis. Discussing the condition of millennial discontent and self-reflexion as an escape from that space; as we write in an effort to locate the self and sustain it after confronting alterity.

CARMEN-SIBHAi KEISO is an emerging Middle-Eastern multi-media artist, working predominantly with video and text. Keiso approaches their practice as a reflexive mise-en-scène, in which the artists subjectivity within current socio-political and global cultural industries, is fused with the semantics of social performativity. Chiming a diasporic human experience with contemporary cultural trends; from post-internet platforms to text based video installation. Keiso’s practice typically follows a collaborative and research based process, wherein they direct a form of 'theatre' which involves practitioners from various disciplines: actors, writers, film-makers, dancers
