Aisha Tandiwe Bell

Aisha Tandiwe bell says: Subjective, the context and content of my existence shift infinitely. I am interested in the trickster because she best encompasses our modern fragmented, shape-shifting, code-switching, hyphenated identities and multiple consciousnesses. I am intrigued by our desire to effect change living in conflict with our compulsion to consume everything. I am interested in the internal war between empathy and apathy and the stillness this causes.

Are we drowning in the surface of all things and trapped in the prisons of our stillness? So I focus on awareness. Are we aware of ourselves? Are we aware of each other? Are we aware of this trap?
