Berahi: Holy Unions<\/em><\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Norhaizad Adam<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Berahi: Holy Unions<\/em> explores the delicate interplay between attraction and decorum, from the flicker of subtle charm to the bold expression of “berahi” — meaning sexual arousal in Malay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Partners in life and art, Norhaizad Adam and Hasyimah Harith explore how cultural codes and traditions shape the ways we perform intimacy, desire and social grace through bodily rituals and poetic charms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grounded in movement research and framed through a historical-sociological lens, this work draws inspiration from Perhimpunan Gunawan bagi Laki-Laki dan Perempuan<\/em> (A Compendium of Charms for Men and Women), a 1911 Malay manuscript on sexuality by Khadijah Terung.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plot Hole<\/em><\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Sarah Aiken<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plot Hole<\/em> navigates the reality and unreality of the world made and unmade by truths and untruths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reaching across distance between what is said and what is meant, between what is true and what is enacted, the work creates illusions and emulates the digital — gesturing toward the possibilities of technology. Threads of narrative, fractured logic and refracted light slip through the material of the body — leaving holes and gaps, (metaphorical) smoke and (literal) mirrors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing is as complex, or as simple as it seems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
