Atopias: The Homeless Wanderer

Daniela Yohannes is an interdisciplinary artist. Her work reflects upon the racialised movement and conditional belonging of African diaspora, using her own Ethiopian-Eritrean heritage as a lens. Through abstract portraiture and storytelling across multiple media, Yohannes explores the overlap of individual and collective subconscious and desire, and the destruction caused by displacement. Her work dwells on alternative Black realities, considering the bonds between herself, her family and other communities through magical symbolism.

Julien Beramis is a multidisciplinary artist hailing from Guadeloupe and France. His work combines acting, writing, directing, music, and performance. He uses these disciplines as tools to explore the complex history of the island. He uses intuitive writing, observations of nature, and pushes the limits of his body through dance and performance to reach a trance and pathways for healing.
