2017 Project - NON XCHANGE

NON XCHANGE materialises and builds upon the international connections already established by NON’s projects and artistic affiliations. Through performance, discussion, and exhibitions, NON XCHANGE confronts spatial violence and systemic exclusion, forming a cultural dissent against the structural legacy of colonialism.

NON XCHANGE is a multidisciplinary series of events, creating a borderless network for understanding, exchange and collaboration, taking place at various locations in the UK, Germany and South Africa.

Ebony Patterson

Ebony is a Jamaican artist, but has created Haitian styled Drapo and exhibited them in Haiti. This one is for Erzulie and uses a Haitian male that has been transformed to represent the Lwa. Other drapo that she created represented various other Lwa or saints, each examining sexuality and masculinity, in particular those found in “dance hall” culture. Red floral and fish motifs throughout the series serve to represent homosexuality within a predominantly homophobic culture. Patterson’s works imaginatively recreate portraits of young black males who bleach their skin, pluck their eyebrows and wear ‘bling’ jewelry to enhance their gangsta status. Patterson finds beauty in their psychic violence glamorizing them with glittered halos and luscious lipstick.
