“The Biscuit Without A Home “
Re-Rooting Tallaght, Performance Art Festival 2024

The performance follows a biscuit named Creamia. After 15 years in hibernation, she awakes to find her home, the Jacobs Biscuit factory, overtaken by an Amazon Data facility centre. As she searches for a new home, she learns of the arson attack that was done on a hotel housing refugees. The work explores concepts of community, who deserves to exist within it and who gets to decide that.

Thank you so much to @rua_red @wow_laur @paulregan10 @maoliosaboyle for curating this wonderful festival and for having me 🍪💖

and thank you @narryphotographyvids for the amazing photos !

A radical trans street preacher and her followers prophesize the end of the world with salvation only for those who denounce heterosexuality. Men must be women! Women must be men! All sexual intercourse must be interracial! PRAISE HER!

Over the moon to have won the RDS Taylor Art Award. I’m so glad that I’ve been allowed the opportunity to share this work that’s been so important to me. Thank you to everyone that helped me make it, especially @jerome_onyango and @ciaranmcgannon I can’t wait to keep making more art that I hope brings change, conversation, and love into the world. The exhibition will still be up at the RDS until Saturday so make sure to go check out all the amazing work ! // Beautiful dress by @oranjaurelio

HIVE CITY LEGACY OPENING TOMORROW, SEPT 9-17 (Link in bio!)

So happy to be working with such a wonderful cast and crew! !

Dublin Fringe Festival, Hot Brown Honey and Quiet Riot present

Lisa Fa’alafi and Busty Beatz of Hot Brown Honey are BACK at Dublin Fringe Festival!

With a mobilised troop of Femmes of Colour who are locked, loaded and ready to take to the stage in this genre-bending, heart-thumping, mind-expanding performance.

It’s time to shift the paradigm, reclaim the narrative and explore what it means to be a Woman of Colour in Ireland through episodes of dance, song, poetry, performance and more. The time is now.

Are you ready?!
