INSTRUMENTS I BUILT
6 triggers. 3 bodies. Touch a nipple, hear a note. The part of the body they censor is the part that plays. A free body is a loud body.
In Lebanon I had to pretend to be a man to drive. Now the wheel is my drum kit. Touch the metal, the beat drops. I steer my own road.
Every turn, every shake of the hips is a beat. The costume is the band. Fashion you can hear.
They called us camels. I put the weight on my shoulders and made it drum. The stereotype becomes the rhythm.
