Dada

dada is a lawyer by profession, a poet in her spare time, an eco-poetic researcher and a playwright (in the making).

Her artistic approach attempts to cultivate an ethic of fugitivity and marooning. Her language seeks the unstable balance between the impulse to name the world accurately and the beautý of imperceptibility, and opacity. To borrow an expression she’s particularly fond of from Olivier Marboeuf – an artist and intellectual who nourishes her greatly – she seeks what lies between “skin and nail”.

Her work is characterized by intranquility and a constant search for cracks, erosion, doubt and uncertainty.

Anatomy of a commercial product

Taking as its genesis questions about the conditions of success of so-called “black creativity” within traditional institutional circuits, Anatomy of a commercial product examines the logics and general extractivist mechanics at work within the neoliberal artistic complex.

This multi-disciplinary project explores notions such as the commodification of identity, the aestheticization of violence and the question of authenticity in an increasingly political age of recognition and representation.
