Performance artist Filip Canha performed THE WALK, a ground-breaking visual piece addressing people’s perception on Trans Rights, acceptance and vulnerability, in Brighton at the weekend.It took Filip 582 hours to hand print the fabric of this costume, which had a 1950s Dior shape and featured a train 10 metres in length.
The performance, which embodies the struggle and perseverance of trans and non-binary lives, intended to show the trans history of resilience but also seeks to point out the setbacks in the decades-long struggle for self-identification.Filip Canha’s work looks at queer and feminist performance aesthetics and theory; performative approaches to action,protest & activism in performance; examins the relationship between.
