Rose Huey (they/she) and Zoe Huey (they/them)
We grew up on unceded Lisjan Ohlone land aka Oakland, CA. Shaped by our mixed-race ancestry, queer identities and shared sisterhood, our artistic practice blends dance, visual art, and improvisation. Our earliest creative collaborations were living room dance performances for our stuffed animals. In collaboration with our childhood selves we experiment with play as creative process and creative process as play. Play is a portal through which we seek to make sense of the nonsensical, dystopian, and apocalyptic world we inhabit; in our sistership we find refuge.
About the Project:
Trashflower is a transdisciplinary study on plastic, death, grief, and transformation. Weaving together up-cycled plastic sculptural elements with dance practice, we explore the porous and invisible membranes between the organic and plastic body.
