InTRODUCING THE SEX MAGICK WARRIORS (2019)
INTRODUCING THE SEX MAGICK WARRIORS displays characters in the style of a video-game selection screen. They are ready for action, ready to be chosen and embodied.These full-body portraits reveal the two main branches of their society, the rollerbladers and the ritualists, both symbols of strength, softness and queerness. The colours pink and teal - two colours redacted from the original design of the Pride flag which symbolized sexuality, magic, and art - are central to their world, they use those tones to unite and heal. The warriors are featured with their imposing names alongside a list of their traits and characteristics (strengths, quirks, weaknesses and kinks) which contrast with the fantastic nature of their display. They are warriors but not heroes, they have strengths but also real preoccupations. By sorting through them and relating to the details of their personas, the viewer (or the player) can bring them to life and lift them out of the realm of fiction.

This sanctuary space accompanied by a video projection of a ritual, serves as evidence to the presence of Sex Magick Warriors. The remains of their practice (rollerblades, clothing and objects scattered around in their two sacred colors) are proof of the urgency with which they organize. The colors pink and teal are the embodiment of Magick, Art and Sexuality and their use by the warriors -through empathy, telepathy and tactile care- spills the tea on their means for survival in these harsh urban environments. The ritual exposes the hardships of this army of lovers and reveals their sensual strategy for self preservation.

The International Worker's Olympiads (2020) were born in the early 20th century as an event running in contrast to the bourgeois elitism of the Olympic Games. Their strength rested in bringing together workers from different nations competing under the same soil and foregoing all displays of nationalism, extreme competitiveness and focus on record-breaking. Collectivity and inclusivity, the pillars of this platform rose to international visibility in empowerment against oppressive socio-political circumstances. Through the clairvoyance of Pink & Teal, the colors of loss have unearthed original items showcased in this archive from the unfulfilled International Worker's Olympiads of 1936.
