“METAMORPHOSIS FESTIVAL”

At the festival we will have a scent throughout both days designed by the one and only hydra.community.care.

About the scent: <<Hatching Chrysalis>>

An aromatic blend of steam distilled flora centering the butterflies yearnings to find nectar. A scented landscape to invite difficult and transformative conversations in our movements, when people want to save it for the therapy room

metamorphosis ʚїɞ - safer space manifesto

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧

No racism, homophobia, transphobia or sexism will be tolerated.

Be aware about your privileges and how much space you take.

Respect peoples boundaries and pronouns, if you dont know then ask.

No cultural appropriation, if it's not a part of your culture don't say, do or wear it.

There are no safer spaces only safer moments that we create together so be cute and have fun<33 ✧

･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ:

ʚїɞ If anything occurs or you feel uneasy, please reach out to the Metamorphosis team or the bartenders, and they will notify us. Additionally, we have a resting room available if you need a quiet space, as it may become crowded. Feel free to ask us about it.

You can recognize us by the purple butterfly pins we'll be wearing both days.

At Metamorphosis, we believe that our personal and collective values regarding queer and trans liberation are deeply connected with the liberation of Palestine.

We recognize the systemic and structural injustices perpetrated by oppressive institutions.

We acknowledge the deafening silence from the art Institutions all over the world, and we need to use our voices and our platform to speak up.

We stand in solidarity with those who endure these injustices and share a vision of radical change.

We join the global solidarity movement for a free Palestine, calling for an end to the genocide in Gaza, the occupation, and a permanent ceasefire

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. and as always, queer as in free palestine

“SYMBIOSING” by Mschyen & Thit

Performances

Starfish and Gloria , 8 min., 2024 poem/prose - as spoken word and as a printed copy with graphic illustrations and references.

Starfish and Gloria is a genderqueer, bible-like fable which explores a rewriting of the story of God’s creation of the world: specifically light and person, making the story genderqueer to have representation of non-binaries and non-personal genders, written in a mixture of the endangered queer language Polari and modern day English and told as a pretty, glittery fairytale-like poem.

35-40 min.

I'll be playing a set of plunderphonic vaporwave/ambient/jungle from my upcoming album. Get ready for slushy, delayed and laid back vibes with a hint of danceability:)

Performances

SYMBIOSING, 35 min., 2024.

SYMBIOSING (work title) is a work that becomes as you watch it becoming Two bodies are morphing into each other, becoming-with the other in both other - & togetherness. It is a monstrous case of the transitions of love.

Have you ever loved someone so much you just wanted to sink into their body? Stretch your skin over theirs and decompose in symbiotic bonds between you and me, and me and you. Transformation is created through body modification. It is the last stage of a butterfly, one enormous body in green and pink, hairy-multi-legged creature, flickering eyes, identities.

Performances

How to not heal a friendship, 60 min., 2024 Manuscript reading.

How to not heal a friendship is a script based participatory performance work by Arzu and Elo. The script is open to adjustments. Members of the audience can take the roles of the two friends and see where that takes them.

The performance will be happening for an hour with the scripts available to be acted out.

Fremkaldelser, 12 min., 2024. Oplæsning/perfomance

Fremkaldelser er en digtsamling om længsel og stilhed, om familie og fravær og om at prøve at finde et sprog for alt det, der ikke er - at drømme sig frem til de billeder, der blev væk eller aldrig blev taget.

Final Bow , 2024

Sculptural object, multiple

Materials: Isotherm (for temperature and sound insulation), orchid scent,photo showcase (note: bow placed on the front of Funen Art Academy),3d prints, casted tin, Variable dimensions.

Applause

You must bow now

A bow

A symbol, that creates a system, that creates a structure

It's easy to tie a space together and easy to let it slip apart

I think about the front of an institution, how walls are communicationbetween inside and outside

Perhaps a building has a language, a facade that can communicate publicness

But concrete is oh so heavy, it is not to be discussed

So, what can a public space contain?

I use an odour that can deter and shield all existing smells, like in a new car or a public toilet

I CRAVE LOVE. , 2023

“Do you realize how loved you are? "

Lau drag performance video til cyber sex by doja cat. , 2022

video 2:27 min. (jeg ejer ikke rettighederne til musikken), har selv gjort makeup og styling

vinduer vi ser i gadebilledet. vinduer på internettet. vi bruger det samme ord til begge fænomener. vindue ind til ?

har du nogensinde tænkt over hvad der sker bag de vinduer vi kigger ind i? det svarer jeg på ved hjælp af drag, hvor jeg er forvandlet til denne pink character, som dukker op når du kigger ind gennem vinduerne. Hvordan har jeg det med at dette værk udstilles? Der kan virkelig ses en transition, fra vedkommende jeg var dengang til mig nu. Jeg har det lidt underligt med at se den krop og den mig, men det er jo en del af mig. Samtidig har jeg det vildt rart og fedt over at se denne drag persona, som jeg vil blive ved med at udforske ligesom jeg selv udvikler og udfolder mig.

Girly wall, 2022 + 2024

Broderi på stof, symaskinesting på stof, noget stof er farvet med sorte bønner, løgskaller og indigo dye, filte, farvekridt vandfarve tusch kul neglelak på papir, forskellige størrelser

Jeg er meget inspireret af kunstner Hannah Diamond, som undersøger og arbejder med girlhood. Jeg forestiller mig at denne pyntede væg er på mit girly bedroom. den teenager jeg gerne ville være, indser jeg og finder frem nu. hjerter og sommerfugle er tegn / symboler, som går meget igen i min kunst. denne barnlige og piget æstetik, som jeg er meget glad for at have fundet (frem), bruge og vise. i disse værker har jeg brugt metoder jeg fik kendskab til som barn (brodere, syning, tegnestil, filte). det er også med til at connecte med og embrace my younger self and inner child. være det barn du ønskede du var (ved godt det er forkert at skrive, jeg vil ikke og kan ikke ændre noget), men jeg vil omfavne og kramme mit indre barn. det er det spændende og smukke ved at være trans. vores cirkulære livslinje.

Hundred butterflies , 2023 Ceramics, beads, 240x80 cm

The work is based on the impression of butterflies carried by the wind. These insects are transformative forms, very connected to the queer experience and to growing up as a queer individual. In a curtain-like object made from one hundred ceramic creatures, human-like figurines alternate with butterfly figurines. It becomes kind of a gate to the queer world.

Becoming and dissolving stereotype , 2024 Installation, 3x3 m

This pink web, hanging over a child, brought me joy, But what else was hanging in the air?

In my mind, I placed my childhood bedroom outside.

For the nature within my body to dissolve or become its natural self, if that even exists. Is it dissolving or becoming? "Transforming" sounds more neutral. I don't recall using the "princess web" as a child. But I think I like it now... Sometimes I feel like I'm fake, but I guess I'm just constructed by all the norms that I once felt were guidelines.

6.

The

Archive of Friendship , 2023

Digital print in a6, letter, memorabilia

The book is a research, a collage and an archive, for all the friendships that are long gone, but also the ones that are still in the blossoming.... It is a collective memory of friendship and the way we keep pieces of eachother even though the friendships might not even exist anymore, the memories of them are contained and encapsulated in the leftovers that we keep of them.

you can read me ;)

Akryl maling, airbrush på farve grundet lærred, 40x50 cm

Tiny Protectors, 2024 hand sewn plushies, letter on Diddl paper, ca. 20 x 9 x 6 cm 10.

A tiny protector, an amulet, a support for the tough times and a companion for the better.

A small creature, a plushy sewn by hand. The creation process is slow and careful. A meditative and transforming practice, that makes room for the care and love that is passed on to the plushy, and to whoever receives it. It is given as a gift to someone who needs it. An act of vulnerability and deliberate slowness, a break from the productive and the stressful, in the making of the work and in the moments you can create with it. Slow down, be sensitive, your tiny protector will be there for you

Tiny protectors is an ongoing, evolving project
