    About Project

    A contemporary remake of the ancient Egyptian myth of Isis and Osiris, Womb on My Thuggle features Goddess Isis, played by an Illuminati inducted Minnie Mouse that watches Basketball Wives, paddling through the Nile scavenging the 14 dismembered body parts of her lover Osiris so that she may bring back to life his seven spirit souls. This work is based on my interdisciplinary inquiry into the embodied freedom encompassed in Hip Hop’s interdynamic gestures of power, symbolism, triple metaphor, dance and song as metalanguage.. Paired with my work as a yoga instructor and interest in Contemporary Goddess Archetypes, through the phantasmagoric ‘veil’ of my own distorted magnitude my work explores how Hip Hop in all its incantations is a dynamic form of esotericism or neo-Jungian ‘cultural dreaming’ engaging body, mind and group soul. On a global mass mediated scale, hip hop’s explosive appeal is one ‘stain’ of the ultra global extralinguistic conditions bell hook’s characterizes as a sociocultural climate in which consumers are primed to let “Prejudices and xenophobia go and happily ‘eat the other.’” W.O.M.T. explores the ‘slippage’ that occurs during the spectacular encounter of two lovers in the break of mass mediated/Pop pedagogy around race, class and gender.
