about 2faced1.com

2FACED1.com shows one persons two different faces in photos;

Persona 1:
WHAT YOU WANT TO BE
CONSIDERED AS

Persona 2:
WHAT YOU FEAR TO BE
CONSIDERED AS

This leads to a discussion about stereotypes and inner fears of getting misunderstood by the surroundings. Thoughts that every thinking modern day person does reflect upon. We're asking every day people from an innercity context where old categories as ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexuality and class are reassessed, why they choose to look like they do. We’re diggin' deep, peeling off garments, codes and attributes. We’re searching for transnational identities - is the conclusion that we choose whoever we want to be today?!

 

A 2FACED1 STATE OF MIND

A 2FACED1 is highly aware of existing stereotypes related to your own ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexuality and class. You’re trying to avoid them but sometimes also play with them to make people think twice about who you are. Two faced doesn’t mean anything negative here, it explains the double folded view you have on identity if you’re not the existing norm. It means you have the feet in different worlds, can move between them but feel rather at home in that space in between. You've stepped out of your comfort zone and have become one of the new identities where ol' categories are mashed up and rootlessness and non-given identity just means major possibilities.

Another Amazon Has Left Us: R. I. P. Ari-Up

Post date Thu 21 Oct 2010 9:48 PM

I've said it before: if you're a woman and say you don't have any female rolemodels, you just haven't done your research, go home do your homework.

A women that deserved more mainstream focus was the former front head of punk reggea band the SLITS (one of the bands who's crucial to the RIOT GRRL movement),  and later on solo artist, ARI UP who past away yesterday at the age of 48. Ari Up went from punk to jamaican dancehalls to what some people would call world music (hate this term), she's one of the people that made the "world music" craze happen during the 80s (before Paul Simon) and has had an influence on artists such as Nina Hagen and even our own Neneh Cherry among many others. The video for Lazy Slam was released postmortum after Ari Up's wishes.

Rest In Peace.
