EXHIBITION: Kwinnie Lê, 'The land of the tattooed; ungodly beasts'


Visit the exhibition The land of the tattooed: ungodly beasts by Kwinnie Lê.

For their residency at Hotel Maria Kapel, artist Kwinnie Lê investigates the erasure of tattoo traditions under colonial rule, and the subsequent demonization of its practices in the years since. An installation of suspended tapestries covered with semi-fictional writings will set the arena for meetings, performances and private tattooing rituals with guest-participants Joe Patty Sabandar (traditional tattoo artist), Fileona Dkhar (visual artist) and Nash Caldera (visual artist), thus investigating their cultural heritage and the way it has been excluded from the modern tattoo industry.
