Lilith 2019
LILITH is an exhibition I co-created, curated and exhibited at Safehouse 1 in Peckham.
Lilith is the exploration of the body and its relation to modern identity politics. Taking inspiration from mythical and historical female protagonists, we aim to express the contemporary being.
I explored the Babylonian myth of Ishtar trapped in the Underworld and how she was rescued by a queer figure called Asushunamir, the key point of the story I looked at was how Ereshkigal (the goddess of the dead) cursed Asushunamir and all people like them to forever live in the shadows but Ishtar said she would be a protector of them and the desendants.
