While staying in a safer space and residency for queer artists in Ghana, where Homophobia and Anti-LGBTIQ politics are damaging society, I dived into old mythologies and folk tales from West Africa, Brasil, the Baltics and Babylonia - to find that queer figures and narratives have always played important roles in our societies. I developed a participatory queer retelling of ‚Inanna and the Hulluppu tree‘ and made a costume for the genderfluid godxxx with a strap-on double snake, palm skin wings and fishy feet.
