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, color, nationality, gender, sexual orientation 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. Self awareness is a gift, because it also helps you to understand other peoples situations better. To be a 2FACED1 is to have the feet in different worlds, be able to move between them but feel rather at home in that space in between. You've stepped out of your comfort zone and has become one of the new identities where ol' categories are mashed up and rootlessness and non-given identity just means major possibilities.

Vivid Times

Post date Thu 11 Oct 2012 5:35 PM

We are going through pretty vivid times in Sweden at the moment, the way I see it the last piece of the intersectionality puzzle: the discussion about racism and Swedish exceptionalism, is finally starting, slowly, making it's way up on the official Sweden's agenda. Soon we can start working through things for realZ!

Had a coffee with Mr Timbuktu yesterday, agreeing on the fact how it's a good thing when people show their true colors and most of all; a lot of good folks you didn't know about, stepping up. Timbuk has done one of my favorite Swedish rap songs ever "Jag Drar" (2002) (basically "I'm Out"), it nails the ambivalent feeling I've had in the back of my head since I turned eighteen and could move, more or less. I travel but the base is still Sweden. So I suppouse that means we need to keep stepping and get those changes made here. Now.

 

Swedish links:


Oivvio Polite's nifty timeline including all articles concerning the debate in Sweden on Racism, Tintin, Wirsén etc. Extra Highlights on:

- Ylva Habel, Scholar and Lecturer, Media & Communications, who we invited for the Black Face panel talk has written an extremely important piece about Sweden in SvD. It sums up pretty much everything that we have been talking about as problematic with this country. A MUST READ for all Swedes (hopefully we can get a sort of translation sooner or later) "Den Svenska vithetens blinda fläck".

- My old soccer pal and style icon Lawen Mothadi finally releases "Den dag jag blir fri", a book about the iconic activist Katarina Taikon, telling another story of Sweden. Lawen is also the person behind this brilliant piece " Varför hånas de kritiska rösterna?"

- Extra <3 to our 2FACED1-bro Nathan Hamelberg in Nya Vågen (Radio) who's breaking down something very personal on one hand, in a carefully prepared vocuabulary, for the ones who don't understand, to understand.

 

PS: It's Friday: The first official 2FACED1 Alexander Salzberger created Surdegshotellet together with a bunch of other stars for P1 Godmorgon, världen! If you missed it this summer listen here . FUNNY as hell!

 

Do you think I forgot all about the style in the tagline? 2FACED1's Oscar Stenberg provided me with some new press-photos, here they come:
