Performance - A parody commercial in which we'll hack the system!
Epic-fantasy world builder Lashaaawn satirises mainstream media by portraying it
as a prime-time talk show, complete with commercial breaks and live
performances, providing a critical examination of societal norms and systems of
oppression. During the PublicSpaces Conference, catch a glimpse of the show
through one of its parody commercials.
Currently, as part of their Scout Night development grant by Stimuleringsfonds
Creatieve Industrie, Lashaaawn is conducting research on digitalisation and
societal progress. They address concerns like discriminatory algorithms on
social media platforms that disproportionately impact marginalised communities,
including LGTBQI+ individuals. Lashaaawn also delves into the role of AI in
cultural appropriation, emphasising the risk of cultural erasure with
superficial adoption.
To be excluded because of your cultural heritage, gender identity, or other ways
of being and expression is beyond an individual’s control, and rooted in the
oppressive systems of our Western society. Thankfully systems can be hacked.
Drag performance for example is a way for the members of the queer community to
navigate and bypass the exclusion they are subjected to. To safeguard cultural
heritage and diverse forms of expression, Lashaaawn embeds them within their
self-created epic fantasy and performance world, serving as a time capsule away
from external oppression. Lashaaawn aims to contribute to building the digital
infrastructure necessary for advancing and amplifying invaluable artistic and
cultural discourse. This work ensures the continuity of their stories and those
of their communities, undisturbed.
