Persona 1:

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.

Happy New Year - No Fear!

Post date Wed 4 Jan 2012 11:49 PM

The most important thing 2011, for me - as a 2FACED1, has been the processes known as the Arab Spring and Occupy (W)All Streets. Two movements apparently diverse at first sight but actually just different expressions of the same spirit when one looks into it. The question has been raised: what is democracy? Is it compatible with reigning western view of Capitalism? And how do we reach it in a global world? This awakening of solidarity with hope of a world based on human need (as in equal rights for all mankind) and sustainability, not corporate greed, has 2FACED1s in the forefront, pushing that development. - The ones able to understand more perspective than one on things (the type of knowledge you develop when you're not the norm) - the ones understanding there are different situations of superiority and subordination in different contexts, - same ones that take responsibility when they happen to be in a context where their place is the privileged one.

How this movement is connected to the 2FACED1 State of Mind, we will keep on clarifying during 2012. The second wave of Occupy All Streets will happen this year and the truth is that it's our revolution, and yes the revolution will be televised and tweeted.

So dear 2FACED1s, let's put all energy into the things that really means something in 2012, and in the future. Think of that whenever you decide to put your thought and energy into various matters, does this really mean something?

Lots of love, brave creatures!
