A New Visual Art-Film Commission  asking “Where does Power come from?”

Boobs, Bananas & Guns

How can one possibly make art, action or conversation on Power in any adequate way? Who am I or You or They to talk about Power?

Is it just too big, offensive, one sided, too dangerous? Perhaps too colourful, too fruity, exotic, exploitative? Just too damn much?

The infamous African-American born banana skirt entertainer Josephine Baker was said to represent “the emancipatory potential in being problematic”. (Dr Michell Chresfield)

Power is Awkward, Too Important and doing nothing is lazy. At the time of writing Mistry is making this work, it’s not complete. In her explorations she considers money, women, anti-production, survival, language and identity.
