HDF 1

2019, Nigeria.

The street. The body. The memory.
The glances. The comments. The touches.

Roxane experiences the consequences of her moving body in public spaces. In her performance HDF 1, Roxane invites the audience into the intimacy of her memories. She whispers to them about the quiet strength emanating from the women of "Naked Underneath"—those who claim their right to belong to themselves, for themselves. Those who, by walking naked under a Boubou in the street, transform an everyday act into a profound experience.
