Lillian Snortland & Fatima Al Romaithi
This project was created as part of the Virtual Collaborative Program for Emerging Artists, co-organized by Postscript Magazine and Exit 11 Performing Arts Company. It is a virtual residency pairing emerging artists in an interdisciplinary setting.
-A fragment exchange project, audience becomes artist, artist becomes audience-
In this safe space, Lillie and Fatima define and approach their vulnerabilities. It can mean something different for everyone. For Lillie, it means changing and being changed, both physically and emotionally. For Fatima, vulnerability is emotional risk, exposure, and uncertainty.
These vulnerabilities bore a poem from Lillie called The Agreeable Woman, a personal allegory about a woman who folds herself over and over again to please others and be intimate. Fatima responded with two portraits to visually interpret, and expose, the sentiments she identified in the poem.
