White Sins
WHITE SINS
is a ritual for the future. It is an act of cleansing of the seven deadly sins of white culture, executed by two modern day Cassandras to the soundtrack of an Afrofuturist.
"My art is not a white cube for your supremacist phantasies.
For me the whitening of my white body is a symbol for the whitewashing of history and our culture, the root of all white privilege and the fairy tales of white supremacy: My voice is white – my existence is white – my thoughts are white – my desires are white – my dreams are white... But why do we have to believe ourselves white?"
