We highlight dancer and choreographer Elijah-Jade Bowen's recent performance in the heart of ‘Iris van Herpen: Sculpting the Senses’. Bowen is an emerging performer connected to her First Nations country of the Mununjali, Nunukul, Guugu Yimithirr peoples.
‘Sculpting the Senses’, an immersive sensory exploration of Iris van Herpen's practice with garments and accessories in conversation with contemporary artworks, natural history specimens and cultural artefacts from which the designer draws inspiration was the perfect showcase to highlight Bowen's talents with the ambient exhibition soundscape composed by artist Salvador Breed.
This performance was filmed for screening at the 2024 QAGOMA Foundation Annual Dinner.
