Based in Brussels, artist and designer Lucie Briand's artistic practice is rooted in a multidisciplinary universe that closely links fashion design, installation, and performance. Her research is based on concepts such as intimacy and social norms, exploring issues related to the body, health, and collective memory. The personal and collective bodily narratives she creates explore the boundary between the sensitive and the political, while seeking to make invisible experiences visible and open up spaces for fluid thinking. The recurring use of liquids - such as water or herbal infusions - symbolizes processes of healing and resilience, as a form of resistance to structures of domination.

The patriarchal and heteronormative society in which we live seeks to erase certain identities that do not meet its expectations. To resist this, we must liberate the space around our identities, no longer imitating or reproducing, but transforming and evolving autonomously. 

This performance represents a regenerative act, a process of mutation and transformation through care. As a queer identity, this performance activates feelings and experiences related to social pressures, both individual and collective. How can we protect ourselves collectively? This space invites the audience to gather around the installation and the creation of a tea ceremony, in order to share knowledge gained from lived experience, and thus be seen and heard in a collective space.
