Intimate Threads is a simultaneous ritual across continents, emerging from an online collaboration between artists Bunny Cadag and Niya B. The artists follow the common threads that connect them across continents, particularly the pre-Christian mythology and cultural and spiritual traditions of the Philippines and Greece.
Bunny Cadag deploys her performative alter ego Vera Maningning to weave a trans-personal journey of decolonisation and healing. Through ritualistic dancing and the art of doll-making, she invokes the spirit of the Snake Woman, the hybrid offspring of Niya B’s mythopoetic practice, which is inspired by the ancient Greek myth of Tiresias.
In challenging the confines of colonial and patriarchal narratives, the artists cohabit a space of possibilities for trans-local and trans-cultural entanglements. Amidst the global climate crisis and struggles for transgender rights, they articulate a new mythology that embraces the diversity of genders and the interconnectedness of all species.
