My Name is Ludmilla-Mary

At the crossroads between art, politics and fashion runway, 2Fik’s performance as Ludmilla-Mary, his gender-bending character sporting a hijab and a beard, invites viewers to confront their apprehensions and preconceived ideas.

Challenging both cultural and gender stereotypes, Ludmilla-Mary walks and poses silently through public spaces while displaying messages on an iPad that raise questions about difference and otherness.

Presented in association with the Koffler Gallery’s fall exhibition Yonder

Performance starts in Trinity-Bellwoods Park and leads back to the Koffler Gallery.
