my body reminds us water v Thank you @pamuseum_ for inviting me to perform at the historic Jewel's Catch One alongside other incredible artists!

This was Ebun Sodipo, « You see her walking », a performance with Davia Spain. In five vignettes, Ebun Sodipo and Davia Spain walk viewers through millennia of encounters with women who we now call trans. In the meandering, the performance lingers on the one watching, on desire as it forms and shifts shape, revealing unstable edges. Other forces rush into the yearning: fear, fixation, shame, fetish, worship.

This Thursday: Ebun Sodipo with Davia Spain « You see her walking » April 23, 2026 18:00 - 18:40 Musée d’Art et d’Histoire, Genève Guided by Black feminist studies and employing a methodology of collage and storytelling, Ebun Sodipo’s work identifies and produces real and imagined narratives of the presence, embodiment, and inner lives of Black trans women across the past, present, and future, filling historical gaps to create moments of archival pleasure. Her work unfolds across multiple spaces (galleries, festivals, theater, digital, and print) and in various forms (sound, performance, text, installation, video, and sculpture). Davia Spain is a performance artist, musician, and filmmaker who was born and raised in California. She draws on Afrofuturist themes such as time travel, multidimensionality, and the theory of circular time to imagine new possibilities for this physical plane.

Join myself, april forrest lin 林森 @a_f__lin and Ebun Sodipo @epastry at the BFI @britishfilminstitute in January where I’ll be hosting a gentle panel on queer DIY transgressive filmmaking practice. It’s a dream come true and alongside two wonderful practitioners also. The discussion will investigate the capacity for the concept of elsewheres and queered utopic landscapes while celebrating the creative autonomy of refusal. Queer utopia is alive and in reach. 11:45–12:30, Blue Room at the @britishfilminstitute on Saturday the 24th of January. Tickets are available on the BFI website. Maybe we will see you there. 💌 Queer horizons and new beginnings are afoot. #womanwithamoviecamerasummit #womanwithamoviecamera *An annual event, the summit programme is formed by over 20 events exploring film and television, focused on lending female and non-binary voices a chance to speak about the issues facing them in today’s workplace and culture.*
