hamsa fae is a Vietnamese-French artist from Los Angeles working across performance, sound, movement, and social practice on Turtle Island.
With a decade of research in shamanism and land-based inquiry, she uses the third gender body as a site for ancestral technologies and indigenous futurity. Their work unravels the interconnectedness between identity, intimacy, and ecology by using systems of re-matriation to provoke coloniality. Through cyber and site-specific invitations, she edges audiences towards self and environmental remembrance.
While the nude body has been a subject of art since the Stone Age, third-gender bodies remain largely absent, often framed through erasure or commodification. Where can our bodies be archived in a way that awakens possibilities beyond binary contracts? Can performance act as a chamber for power-switched voyeurism and exhibitionism through a post-human yet animist lens? How can eco-transfeminism glamour as erotic capital to challenge extraction?
