Muscles in Motion
Tischa The Tigress
Muscles in Motion is a burlesque style creative dance performance that exhibits the true beauty and strength of the female physique in its most muscular form. The intended message of the performance via song and creative dance is to celebrate and embrace ones authentic self, as well as making the statement that women do not have to choose between being strong and beautiful. They can indeed be both and proud of it! The artist states that “Muscles in Motion is her way of showing her femininity through her muscularity.”
Tischa Thomas, AKA The Tigress, is originally a U.S. expat from New York City currently living in Berlin Germany since 2019. Formally competing as a world class professional athlete, ranking 3rd in the sport of women bodybuilding, Tischa decided to retire as an athlete and pursue her interest as an artist in the art of bodybuilding. Now, as a creative dance performing artist, Tischa, a 53 year old mother of 3 adult children and 9 grandchildren, has switched one stage for another and uses her body as an artistic medium to express her message. Her bold performances have continued to challenge, tear down, and destroy all social norms of beauty standards and negative stereotypes of how women should be expected to look, act, and carry themselves in today’s society.
Tischa’s performances, Muscles In Motion and P.O.P Culture, have inspired both women and men to dare to embrace their true authentic selves, and to be unapologetically proud of them!
Held Like a Pigeon
Kami Million
Held Like A Pigeon speaks on the complexity of identifying as a sex worker. There is a tension between the search for anonymity and wanting to be recognized. As a sex worker there can be a vital need of staying anonymous. A daily act of hiding, to protect one’s safety. The personal history of Kami’s grandfather who was a pigeon fancier became a threat of inspiration from which Kami started looking at pigeons as relatives. As a species that carries hate, hang out together, stick together and make precarious but practical nests that won’t break but are fragile, the pigeon experience might have more to do with sex workers’ experience than foreseen.

Romy Alizée
A vaginal text on the experience of being the center of attention, in the context of a pornographic photoshoot. The photographer is not the one expressing themselves here.
Photographer, performer, actress, director, and autodidact Romy Alizée didn’t attend art school but instead studied theater and gained experience through various other training programs. Originally exclusively modelling for male photographers, she quickly seized control of photography to tell a subjective story of lesbian emancipation, desire, and identity, centered around her own image and that of her community.

The Lament of the Aggressor
L’Albatrice
It’s the story of a monologue pretending to be a dialogue, of a clumsy attempt at redemption. It’s my story, but it’s also a universal story. I realized this by listening to other aggressors. They have reasons, mitigating circumstances. This is the lament of the aggressor.
Trigger warning : sexual assault.
