We would love to see you at this bittersweet curtain call, to look back at our collaboration over the last two months; the performances, workshops and associated publication.

Her practice is relational and collaborative, dealing with public space, experimental archiving, ways of gathering, and conditions of (in)visibility. She has an affinity with art practices that defy categorization, and a special interest in radio and performance art.

Daddy Party is a new multimedia work by Chupan Atashi that focuses on themes of pain, care and sexuality within the artist's ongoing exploration of memory. How can pain potentially be a tool of transformation and overcoming trauma? The wound must be touched for healing to happen. Presented as a collaborative solo exhibition at Metro54, curated by Radna Rumping, Daddy Party features an extensive sculptural installation, video animation, photography, performance and a public program. Seeds and roots are sprouting, bananas and limes composting, stitches are loosened, sculptures are dripping. Elements from past and present rub up against each other within a morphing constellation where colonial collapse occasions a new beginning for the lovers.
