BUNX – dripping in jelly of the black atlantic is a raw yet vulnerable dance performance, an embodied manifesto of black and brown liberated FLINTA* bodies. Being daring and caring with each other Andrea Vezga Acevedo, Iris Omari Ansong, mirabella paidamwoyo* dziruni and Yours Izundu hold a space that resists objectifications and normative gazes. They reclaim their sensual and sexual bodies, consciously moving between a club atmosphere and a ceremony. This is a project engaging in the body to cultivate liberation, justice and connections to the cultural legacy of the Black Atlantic. Four Artists encounter each other through the dance form Twerk, tracing their diasporic heritages while diving into Embodied Activism. If Twerk rates as a provocation, it is as much an aesthetic and political one as an erotic one – disrupting class-inflected norms for gendered behavior.
