Nene H checksout the experiences of her queer, POC neighborhood browsing the colonial history of art and culture in Western Europe.
On her current EP for Live From Earth Klub, Trifecta, Nene H provides up 3 homages to cities that hold unique significance in her life, showing on the puts that have shaped and motivated her as an artist. Having directed her deep love for Istanbul into an tribute to Sirän, a rave cumulative for cultural exchange she co-founded last year, with ‘Ring the Sirän’, and sentout up the self-serious European techno scene in her present base of Berlin with ‘Fukken Lie’, here, with ‘Hold Ud, Skat!’, she opens her heart to Copenhagen, a city she feels accepted her at a time when she felt most lost.
“The last of these 3 videos is committed to Copenhagen, where I discovered so numerous brown, queer sis that motivated me so much, living their own reality, producing their own areas, truth and culture in Europe, with experiences that are strange to our presence in Western European nations and growing since of it, nonetheless,” she discusses. “It endedupbeing a extremely effective visual language surrounding this EP and this endedupbeing such a individual and crucial task for me.”
“The story is about how we as POCs typically discover ourselves away from our origins and experience the world through a westernised viewpoint,” includes director Noah Umur Kanber. “We see our history in taken and offered items seen through museum glasses. The neighborhood we produce is not just for survival however likewise for understanding. We see each other and we assistance each other to discover the lost pieces in ourselves, reclaiming the antiques’ cultural heritage and developing the brand-new history of our culture.”
Set versus an immediate technoid charge, we see in little minutes of delight inbetween pals the texture of daily uniformity within their neighborhood, yet the procedure by which this is made into a phenomenon for those of us in the audience is not lost on anybody. Throughout, the videocamera is turned back on us, a subversive act of conflict that links the colonial practices of the museum with the Eurocentric requirements of the art scenes within which Nene H prospers regardless.
