Biba Esaad: Video Portrait of the Artist
“Working interdisciplinary, I root my practice in an exploration of an imagined queer future whereby
embodied oppressions can be transcended. The cyborg aims to surpass the limitations of an alienating present, coding itself as a kind of disassembled; reassembled postmodern being. By acknowledging the body as the site at which racialized people navigate trauma and otherness, the figure of the cyborg comes to represent a site of possible being and thus, a utopian place of imagined existence.”
