- STARFIRE: PARAPHERNALIA by SUUTOO
‘Starfire : Paraphernalia’ is an audio-visual exhibition and performance series in two acts by multidisciplinary artist, composer and performer Suutoo.
In ‘Starfire : Paraphernalia’ Suutoo explores poetics as a state of transformative movement and as a practice from which radical new myths can be generated. The artist recognizes this state and practice as an ancient, present and future technology of relation and resistance; as a mode of being and moving, being held and holding. ‘Starfire : Paraphernalia’ is all the things collected along the way to articulating this ‘becoming’ movement; a grand super-sonic sound-clash gesturing a new type of vocabulary for the precious things imagined and their unbound potential.
‘Encircling ourselves, in mourning as freedom, rage as softness, hope as weaponry.’
– SuutooIn collaboration with Bryce Barnes, Curtis, Jonna Mayer, Kyla Callista, Lisa Berkert Wallard, Neva Wireko, Ronya Tamdjidi and Sofie Bariamikael.
‘Starfire : Paraphernalia’ is commissioned by and will be presented at MDT in August 2022.

- About Suutoo
Suutoo is a London based Swedish multidisciplinary artist with a focus on world-building through a praxis of myth-making, deeply invested in strategies of refusal and emancipation. Their play with sonics, visuals, poetry and performance animates dense fragments of alternative being, catalyzing moments of undoing and becoming beyond the impossible.
All Suutoo wants to be is free.
