Inverted Triangle
Here, the performance to a Brass Liberation Orchestra improvising in a clown monster or a warning from the protectors of the Palestinian and Lebanese people. The red and white are the common colors between Lebanese and Palestinian flag colors. The inverted triangle was band as it resembled militant resistance. Also the city hall area dragged unhoused people into prison cells and the thriving community was empty replaced with empty police cars.
I decided to defy the moment by wearing the inverted red triangle and having the focus mainly on it. White clown makeup with face tattoos resembling both Palestinian and Lebanese motif. A way to express the unity of Al Sham (decolonial term instead of the levant). The outfit is hand stitched by Andrew Medlin the Palestinian designer. The look is also a futuristic take of Palestinian renaissance replacing the victorian style with a triangle with Gaza white cotton.
This dance a way to reclaim the space for the people instead of the fascist state. Dancing infront of the United Nations fountain the day the UN asked for the first lebanese ceasefire in March of 2025.
